To create a slider in Webflow that is transparent and shows quotes over a picture, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a slider element: In the Webflow Designer, drag and drop a Slider component onto your page where you want the slider to appear.

  2. Customize the slider design: With the Slider element selected, go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side. Here you can customize the design of your slider, including its width, height, and position on the page.

  3. Set the background image: To display a picture behind the slider, go to the Styles panel and set the background image of your slider by clicking the '+' icon next to the "Background Image" property. Choose the image you want to use as your background.

  4. Adjust the opacity of the slider: To make the slider transparent, select the slider element and go to the Styles panel. Under the "Background" section, you can adjust the opacity value to your desired level. Decreasing the opacity value will increase the transparency of the slider.

  5. Add quote content: To display quotes over the transparent slider, click on the slider element and add Slide elements within. In each slide, you can add text elements to display the quotes. Position the text elements accordingly to create the desired visual effect.

  6. Customize quote styling: With the Slider and Slide elements selected, you can further customize the styling of your quotes using the Styles panel. You can adjust font size, color, alignment, and any other desired properties to match your design preferences.

  7. Preview and publish: After customizing the slider and quotes, you can preview your page in the Webflow Designer to see how it looks. If you're satisfied, click the Publish button to make your changes live on the web.

By following these steps, you can create a transparent slider in Webflow that displays quotes over a picture. This technique can be used to create visually appealing sliders with transparent overlays for showcasing quotes or other text content.
