To add little white or teal icons to your website's menu bar in Webflow for separating menu items, you can follow these steps:
1. Prepare the icons: First, you need to choose the icons you want to use and have them ready. You can either create custom icons or find suitable ones from icon libraries like Font Awesome or Flaticon. Once you have the icons, make sure they are in a supported format like SVG or PNG with a transparent background.
2. Creating the menu structure: In your Webflow project, go to the Designer page and navigate to the desired page where you want to add the icons. Add a Navbar component to your page or locate the existing one if you already have it. You can find the Navbar component in the Elements panel on the left side of the Designer.
3. Adding menu items: Within the Navbar component, you will see a structure for the menu items. Each menu item is represented by a Link Block and typically contains a Text Block for the menu label. Duplicate the Link Block for the number of menu items you have or the number of icons you want to add. You can do this by selecting the Link Block and pressing Ctrl/Cmd + D or using the duplicate option in the right-click menu.
4. Inserting icons: With each Link Block selected, you can now add your icon to separate the menu items. There are a couple of ways to achieve this:
a. Background image: You can add the icon as a CSS background image to the Link Block. With the Link Block selected, go to the Styles panel on the right side of the Designer. Under the Background section, click on the image icon and upload/select your desired icon. Adjust the background size, position, and color as needed.
b. Inline icon: Another option is to insert the icon directly into the Link Block using an Inline Block element, like a Span. With the Link Block selected, go to the Styles panel, and under Typography, select the Text element inside the Link Block. Click on the plus icon (+) next to the Text properties to add a Span. Inside the Span, you can insert an image or an inline SVG using the Rich Text editor or the Code Block element.
5. Styling and positioning: After adding the icons, you can further style and position them to align properly with your menu items. You can use the Styles panel to adjust padding, margins, and positioning properties like flexbox or absolute positioning to achieve the desired layout.
6. Responsiveness: Lastly, make sure to test the responsiveness of your menu bar with the added icons. Check how they look on different screen sizes and modify the styling if needed to ensure a consistent and visually appealing experience across devices.
Remember to save and publish your changes to see the icons in action on your live website.
