Custom CSS in Webflow
Curious about where to put custom CSS in Webflow? Ilja explains it in the below video:
CSS
/* Global attribute to easily control easing and timing of all targetted elements */
[data-button-anim-target]{
transition: transform 0.525s cubic-bezier(0.625, 0.05, 0, 1);
}
/* Fake a duplicate text element using text shadow without blur */
/* We save the distance in a variable for easy use in the CSS animation */
.btn-icon-content__text{
--text-duplicate-distance: 1.5em;
text-shadow: 0px var(--text-duplicate-distance) currentColor;
}
/* Only apply hover animations if they are actually not supported */
@media (hover:hover) and (pointer:fine){
.btn-icon-link:hover .btn-icon-content__text{ transform: translate(0px, calc(-1 * var(--text-duplicate-distance))); }
.btn-icon-link:hover .btn-icon-icon__bg{ transform: rotate(90deg); }
.btn-icon-link:hover .btn-icon-icon__arrow{ transform: translate(200%, 0px); }
.btn-icon-link:hover .btn-icon-content__bg{ transform: translate(0px, 0%) rotate(0deg); }
}
Implementation
By taking the .btn-icon-content__mask
and .btn-icon-icon
elements out of the .btn-icon-content
element, we have a text-link only approach, so no background. As you'll see, the .btn-icon-content__bg
(the 'wiping' bg on hover) is also optional, to add some more depth.
Changing icon colors
The arrows are SVG Path elements. Their fill is set to the CSS variable of currentColor
. So to change the color of the arrows, simply change the font-color
on .btn-icon-icon__wrap
. Depending on your color combinations, you might want to change this on hover as well, but that's all dependent on your use-case!
