Yes, it is possible to change the image displayed on hover over a lightbox thumbnail in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Start by adding a lightbox component to your Webflow project. You can find the lightbox component under the "Components" tab in the Webflow Designer.

  5. With the interaction panel open, choose the "Mouse Hover" trigger and select the thumbnail image that you want to modify.

  6. Next, click on the "Add Action" button and choose the "Affect different element" option.

  7. Select the lightbox thumbnail element that corresponds to the image you want to change, and choose the "Change Image" action.

  8. In the "Change Image" action panel, you can now select a new image to be displayed on hover. You can either choose an image from your asset manager or provide a URL for an external image.

  9. Customize the other settings of the interaction, such as the easing and duration, to achieve the desired hover effect.

  10. Preview your site and hover over the lightbox thumbnail to see the image change on hover.
