To create a custom lightbox on the "sammlung" page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Add a lightbox component: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the "sammlung" page and drag a Lightbox component from the Add Panel onto the page.
Add a trigger element: Select the element that you want to use as the trigger for the lightbox. This can be an image, button, or any other element. Drag and drop the element into the Lightbox trigger field in the Lightbox component settings panel.
Configure the lightbox: With the Lightbox component selected, you can now configure its settings in the right-hand panel. You can customize the design of the lightbox by adjusting properties such as background color, overlay opacity, and transition duration.
Add content to the lightbox: Inside the Lightbox component, you will find a set of slides. Each slide represents a separate content item that will show up within the lightbox. You can add elements (images, videos, text, etc.) to these slides by dragging and dropping them onto the respective slide.
Link trigger element to the lightbox: Select the trigger element you added in step 2 and go to the Element Settings panel. In the settings for that element, find the "Open Lightbox" option and select the lightbox you created in step 1 from the dropdown menu.
Style the lightbox: To further customize the appearance of the lightbox, you can add or modify classes in the Styles panel. This will allow you to control things like fonts, colors, spacing, and more.
Publish and test: Once you are satisfied with the design and functionality of your custom lightbox, publish your site to make it live. Test the lightbox by clicking on the trigger element on the "sammlung" page and ensure that it opens the lightbox with the desired content.

In summary, to create a custom lightbox on the "sammlung" page in Webflow, you need to add a lightbox component, configure its settings, add content to the lightbox, link the trigger element to the lightbox, style the lightbox, and test it before publishing the website.
