To change the appearance of a top-level toggle in a navbar when on a page that is one of its children in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the page that is a child of the parent page in the navbar.
  2. Select the navbar element by clicking on it in the Navigator panel or directly on the page.
  3. In the Styles panel, click on the "Open menu" (or similar) element within the navbar.
  4. At the top of the Styles panel, click on the Settings tab (the cog icon).
  5. Scroll down to the "Trigger" section, which determines the behavior and appearance of the toggle element.
  6. By default, the Trigger Type is "Auto," which means it will automatically update its appearance based on the page you are viewing. If you want to override this behavior, switch the Trigger Type to "Manual."
  7. Once you switch to manual mode, you can customize the appearance of the toggle by selecting the "Open" and "Close" states individually.
  8. Customize the styling properties such as background color, text color, size, padding, and borders for each state to differentiate them from the top-level toggle of other pages.
  9. Preview or publish your site to see the changes in action.

By following these steps, you will be able to change the appearance of a top-level toggle in a navbar when on a page that is one of its children.
