To remove the pink/red border overlay on selected elements in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the element: Determine which element on your webpage has the pink/red border overlay that you want to remove. This could be a button, link, form input, or any other interactive element.

  2. Access the Styles panel: In the Webflow Designer, open the Styles panel by clicking on the paintbrush icon on the left-hand sidebar.

  3. Select the element: Either click directly on the element in the Designer canvas or locate the element in the Navigator panel and click on it to select it.

  4. Disable the focus state: The pink/red border overlay appears when an element is in focus, typically after being clicked. To remove this overlay, you need to customize the focus state.

  • In the Styles panel, scroll down to the "States" section.
  • Locate the "Focus" state and click on it to access the focus settings.
  1. Remove the border overlay:
  • Look for the "Border" property under the focus state settings.
  • Set the border width to 0px or remove the border color by selecting the transparent color option (usually represented as an empty color swatch).
  1. Check the result: Preview your changes in the Designer by clicking the eye icon at the top-right corner. If the pink/red border overlay is no longer present when selecting the element, you have successfully removed it.

  2. Publish your site: Don't forget to publish your website for the changes to take effect on the live site.

By following these steps, you should be able to remove the pink/red border overlay on selected elements in Webflow, providing a cleaner and more customized visual experience for your users.
