You can customize bullet styles in Webflow's UI, but with limitations. The Webflow Designer offers some basic bullet styling options, but advanced control may require custom CSS.
1. Use Webflow's Built-In List Styling
- Add a List element (Unordered List) from the Add Elements panel.
- Assign a class to the List (e.g.,
custom-list
). - In the Style panel, you can adjust:
- Margin and padding between items.
- Font, color, line height, and other text-related styles.
- List Style Type (under the "Typography" section), which may include:
- Disc
- Circle
- Square
- None (to remove bullets entirely)
2. Limitations of Webflow's UI for Bullet Styling
- You cannot upload your own image as a bullet via the UI.
- You cannot change the bullet's size, color, or spacing independently from the text unless you use custom code or restructure the list.
3. Workarounds Using Webflow's UI
To achieve more complex bullet designs without code:
- Create a manual bullet:
- Use a Flexbox or Grid layout inside a list item.
- Place a div or image for the bullet.
- Position it next to a Text Block for the list text.
- This gives full control over bullet shape, color, spacing, and size without writing custom CSS.
4. Using Custom Code (If Required)
For full control over bullet styling (e.g., using a custom image as the bullet), you'll need to:
- Go to the Page Settings or use the Embed element.
- Insert custom CSS targeting your list class (e.g.,
list-style-image
or using ::before
pseudo-elements).
Summary
Webflow's UI allows basic bullet styling using list-style-type options, but for custom designs, consider using Flexbox layouts as a workaround or add custom CSS.
