Custom CSS in Webflow

Curious about where to put custom CSS in Webflow? Ilja explains it in the below video:

CSS

Copy
/* Optional: Rotating arrow left/right based on Scroll Direction */

.marquee__advanced__arrow-svg,
[data-marquee-direction="right"][data-marquee-status="inverted"] .marquee__advanced__arrow-svg {
  transition: 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.625, 0.05, 0, 1);
  transform: rotate(-180deg);
}

[data-marquee-status="inverted"] .marquee__advanced__arrow-svg,
[data-marquee-direction="right"][data-marquee-status="normal"] .marquee__advanced__arrow-svg {
  transform: rotate(-359.999deg);
}

Implementation

Marquee Direction

You can set the direction adding left/right to the [data-marquee-direction="left"] attribute.

Marquee Speed

You can change the speed of the marquee by setting the [data-marquee-speed="15"] attribute. The lower the number, the faster it moves.

Marquee Scroll Speed

The speed at which the marquee accelerates during scrolling can be adjusted by modifying the [data-marquee-scroll-speed] attribute. The higher the number, the faster it accelerates.

Duplicating content

To create a seamless loop, the marquee elements must be duplicated at least once to fill the entire row. You can also use [data-marquee-duplicate="2"] to generate three instances of the content. The higher the value, the more duplicates of your marquee content will be created.

Play/pause timeline

When the Marquee is outside the window of the user the GSAP timeline will be paused.

Styling based on the direction

The marquee’s direction can be tracked using the [data-marquee-status="normal"] or [data-marquee-status="inverted"] attribute.

[data-marquee-direction="right"][data-marquee-status="inverted"] .element {
  color: orange;
}
