How to change the color of elements on a Webflow page based on the rotation of a user's phone

Changing the color of elements on a Webflow page based on the rotation of a user's phone can be achieved using custom code and JavaScript. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to implement this functionality:

  1. Add a new plain HTML embed: Drag and drop a HTML embed element onto the page where you want to implement the color change. You can find the HTML embed element in the add panel on the left side of the Designer interface.

  2. Add the JavaScript code: Open the HTML embed element, and in the settings panel on the right side, click inside the "HTML Embed Code" field. Write the following JavaScript code in the code editor:

<script>  window.addEventListener("orientationchange", function() {    if (window.orientation === 90 || window.orientation === -90) {      document.body.style.backgroundColor = "red"; // Change color to red on landscape mode    } else {      document.body.style.backgroundColor = "blue"; // Change color to blue on portrait mode    }  });</script>
  1. Save and publish: Once you have added the JavaScript code, save your changes and publish your Webflow project to see the color change in action based on the rotation of the user's phone.

It's important to note that the above code changes the background color of the body element. If you want to change the color of specific elements, you can modify the code accordingly by targeting those elements instead of the body element using their respective class or ID.

This approach allows you to dynamically change the color of elements on your Webflow page based on the rotation of the user's phone. You can customize the colors and the conditions in the JavaScript code to suit your specific design requirements.
