What is the issue with the tabs design in the Maker template in Webflow that is causing the image to shrink after a few seconds?

The issue with the tabs design in the Maker template in Webflow that is causing the image to shrink after a few seconds is most likely due to a CSS property called flex-shrink.

Here's a step-by-step guide to fix this issue:

  1. Identify the specific element that contains the tabs and the image that is shrinking. This could be a tab wrapper div or a parent container.

  2. Open the style panel for that element and navigate to the "Styles" tab.

  3. Scroll down to the "Layout" section and locate the "Flex" property.

  4. Check the value of the flex-shrink property. If it is set to a value other than 0, it means that the element is allowed to shrink. In this case, it is causing the image to shrink after a few seconds.

  5. Change the value of flex-shrink to 0. This will prevent the element from shrinking and should solve the issue.

  6. Save and publish your project to see the changes take effect.

By setting flex-shrink to 0, you are ensuring that the element will maintain its original size and not shrink when other elements in the same flex container take up more space.

Remember to check if this issue is occurring on different breakpoints. You may need to adjust the flex-shrink property for each breakpoint to maintain the desired layout and prevent the image from shrinking.

Additional tips:

  • You can also check if there are other conflicting CSS rules or animations that are affecting the element's size and causing the image to shrink. Inspect the element using your browser's developer tools to see if there are any conflicting styles or animations applied.

Example:

.my-element {  flex-shrink: 0;}
