How to replace default bullet points with icons in Webflow?

In Webflow, you have the ability to customize the bullet points in a list with your own colorful icons. This can add a unique and visually appealing touch to your website. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Select the list element: Start by selecting the list element that you want to customize. This can be an unordered (ul) or ordered (ol) list.

  2. Access the List Styles settings: Once you have selected the list element, navigate to the Styles panel on the right side of the Webflow Designer. Scroll down until you find the "List Styles" section.

  3. Modify the Bullet settings: Within the List Styles section, you will find the "Bullet" settings. By default, Webflow displays a standard bullet point, but you can customize this to use your own icon.

  4. Choose an icon: In the Bullet settings, you will see a dropdown menu labeled "List Style Type." Click on this dropdown menu and select "Image." This will allow you to upload your own icon as the bullet point.

  5. Upload your icon: After selecting "Image," a new option labeled "Image" will appear. Click on the "Upload Image" button to upload your custom icon from your computer. Ensure that your icon is in a suitable format (e.g., PNG or SVG) and has a transparent background if desired.

  6. Adjust the icon size, positioning, and spacing: Once you have uploaded your icon, you can further customize its appearance by adjusting the icon size, positioning, and spacing using the available settings in the List Styles section. Experiment with these settings until you achieve your desired look.

  7. Preview and publish: After making all the necessary adjustments to your list icon, preview it in the Webflow Designer to ensure it appears as expected. Once you're satisfied with the result, publish your website to make the custom list icon visible to your visitors.

With these steps, you can easily replace the default bullet points with your own colorful icons in Webflow, allowing you to create a more customized and visually appealing list element on your website.

What is a List Element in Webflow?

A list element in Webflow is a fundamental HTML component used to create bulleted or numbered lists on a web page. It is typically used to present information in a structured and organized manner. Webflow provides default styles for unordered lists (ul) and ordered lists (ol), which can be customized to match the design and branding of your website. List elements are commonly used for features such as navigation menus, content lists, pricing tables, and more. By modifying the styles of list elements, you can create unique and visually engaging lists that enhance the overall user experience on your website.
