To make an earth icon rotate when scrolling down on Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add the earth icon to your Webflow project:
  • Go to the Webflow Designer and select the element or section where you want to place the earth icon.
  • Click on the "+" button to add an element and choose the appropriate icon component from the sidebar.
  • Customize the size and placement of the earth icon to fit your design.
  1. Apply the interaction to the earth icon:
  • Select the earth icon and click on the "Interactions" panel on the right-hand side of the Designer.
  • Click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.
  • Choose "While scrolling in view" as the trigger for the interaction.
  • Set the start and end points for the animation. For example, you can set the rotation from 0 degrees at the start point to 360 degrees at the end point.
  • Customize the easing options to control the speed and smoothness of the rotation animation.
  1. Fine-tune the interaction settings:
  • Use the "Limit to children with class" option if you only want the animation to apply to specific elements within a section.
  • Adjust the "Offset" value to delay the start of the animation or make it trigger earlier when scrolling down.
  • Preview and test the animation to ensure it behaves as desired.
  1. Publish and optimize the website:
  • Once you're satisfied with the animation, publish your Webflow project.
  • Ensure that the earth icon is properly optimized by using an appropriate file format (such as SVG) and compressing the file size if necessary.
  • Implement alt text for accessibility purposes, describing the earth icon if it fails to load or for visually impaired users.

By following these steps, you can easily create a rotating earth icon when scrolling down on your Webflow website.
