What do the icons in the Webflow UI represent and how can I customize the settings of containers to match the others?
The icons in the Webflow UI represent different functionality and elements within the design tool. Here is a breakdown of some commonly used icons in Webflow and their meaning:
Selector: The selector icon is represented by a small square with a pencil icon inside. It is used to select and edit individual elements on the canvas.
Settings: The settings icon is represented by a gear or cogwheel icon. It is used to access and modify the settings of specific elements or sections.
Container: The container icon is represented by a large square. It is used to group and contain other elements within a section or page.
Link Block: The link block icon is represented by a chain link. It is used to create clickable areas on a page that can be linked to other pages or sections.
Text: The text icon is represented by the capital letter "T". It is used to add and edit text content on the canvas.
To customize the settings of containers to match others, you can follow these steps:
- Select the container element you want to customize.
- Click on the settings icon (gear or cogwheel) in the top-right corner of the Webflow UI.
- In the settings panel that appears, you can modify various properties of the container, such as width, height, padding, and margin.
- To match the settings of other containers, you can either manually adjust the values to match or use the copy-paste style feature. Select the container with the desired settings and use the copy style button (paintbrush icon) in the Style panel. Then, select the container you want to match and use the paste style button.
By customizing the settings of containers, you can ensure visual consistency and maintain a cohesive design across the different sections and elements of your website.
