Javascript
function initCheckSectionThemeScroll() {
// Get detection offset, in this case the navbar
const navBarHeight = document.querySelector("[data-nav-bar-height]")
const themeObserverOffset = navBarHeight ? navBarHeight.offsetHeight / 2 : 0;
function checkThemeSection() {
const themeSections = document.querySelectorAll("[data-theme-section]");
themeSections.forEach(function(themeSection) {
const rect = themeSection.getBoundingClientRect();
const themeSectionTop = rect.top;
const themeSectionBottom = rect.bottom;
// If the offset is between the top & bottom of the current section
if (themeSectionTop <= themeObserverOffset && themeSectionBottom >= themeObserverOffset) {
// Check [data-theme-section]
const themeSectionActive = themeSection.getAttribute("data-theme-section");
document.querySelectorAll("[data-theme-nav]").forEach(function(elem) {
if (elem.getAttribute("data-theme-nav") !== themeSectionActive) {
elem.setAttribute("data-theme-nav", themeSectionActive);
}
});
// Check [data-bg-section]
const bgSectionActive = themeSection.getAttribute("data-bg-section");
document.querySelectorAll("[data-bg-nav]").forEach(function(elem) {
if (elem.getAttribute("data-bg-nav") !== bgSectionActive) {
elem.setAttribute("data-bg-nav", bgSectionActive);
}
});
}
});
}
function startThemeCheck() {
document.addEventListener("scroll", checkThemeSection);
}
// Initial check and start listening for scroll
checkThemeSection();
startThemeCheck();
}
// Initialize Check Section Theme on Scroll
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
initCheckSectionThemeScroll();
});

Custom CSS in Webflow
Curious about where to put custom CSS in Webflow? Ilja explains it in the below video:
CSS
Implementation
Attributes
- Add
[data-theme-nav="light"]
to the<body>
, used to check the theme of the <section> - Add
[data-bg-nav="light"]
to the<body>
, used to check the background of the <section> - Add
[data-theme-section]
to all of the<section>
elements that need to be synced with the nav theme - Add
[data-bg-section]
to all of the<section>
elements that need to be synced with the nav background
Example structure
For both Webflow and Code
<body data-theme-nav="light" data-bg-nav="light">
<nav></nav>
<section class="section-header" data-theme-section="dark" data-bg-section="blue"></section>
<section class="section-work" data-theme-section="dark" data-bg-section="orange"></section>
<section class="section-about" data-theme-section="light" data-bg-section="yellow"></section>
<section class="section-contact" data-theme-section="light" data-bg-section="light"></section>
</body>
Animating
Use CSS to animate objects (or in this case the nav) based on the changing attributes
/* Nav Theme */
[data-theme-nav="light"] .nav__inner {
color: #131313;
}
[data-theme-nav="dark"] .nav__inner {
color: #EFEEEC;
}
/* Nav Background */
[data-bg-nav="pink"] .nav__inner {
background-color: #562041;
}
[data-bg-nav="black"] .nav__inner {
background-color: #1F1F1F;
}
[data-bg-nav="lightblue"] .nav__inner {
background-color: #204b63;
}
[data-bg-nav="darkgreen"] .nav__inner {
background-color: #C9FC7D;
}
