To fix the issue with your CMS project gallery flexbox slider not aligning the arrows and scrollbar properly when applying the slick-slider, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check for conflicting styles: Sometimes, the issue may arise due to conflicting styles between Webflow and the slick-slider library. Inspect the elements using your browser's developer tools and make sure there are no CSS conflicts.

  2. Add custom CSS: If there are conflicting styles, consider adding custom CSS to override the default styles applied by the slick-slider. Identify the elements responsible for the arrows and scrollbar and target them with custom CSS to align them properly. Use the !important declaration if necessary.

  3. Modify the slick-slider settings: The slick-slider offers a range of settings to customize its behavior, including arrow and scrollbar alignment options. Check the slick-slider documentation for the available settings and modify them accordingly to align the arrows and scrollbar as desired.

  4. Adjust the flexbox container: If the arrows and scrollbar are not aligning properly due to the flexbox container's behavior, consider adjusting the container's properties. You can change the flex-direction, justify-content, or align-items properties to achieve the desired alignment.

Here are some example custom CSS styles to align the arrows and scrollbar using slick-slider:

/* Align the arrows to the center vertically */.slick-prev,.slick-next {  top: 50%;  transform: translateY(-50%);}/* Align the scrollbar to the center horizontally */.slick-scrollbar {  position: absolute;  left: 50%;  transform: translateX(-50%);}

Remember to replace .slick-prev, .slick-next, and .slick-scrollbar with the appropriate class names used in your Webflow project.

In case the issue persists, you may need to seek additional support from the slick-slider community or consider alternative slider libraries that are better integrated with Webflow.
