How can I create a lightbox hover effect with text in Webflow similar to the example shown in the tutorial?

To create a lightbox hover effect with text in Webflow, follow these steps:

1. Set Up the Lightbox

• Add a Lightbox element to your Webflow project.
• Inside the Lightbox, add a Div Block and set it to relative position.
• Inside this Div Block, add an Image that you want to showcase in the lightbox.

2. Add a Text Overlay

• Add another Div Block inside the Lightbox's Div Block.
• Set this new Div Block to:
• Absolute positioning (Full width & height of the parent).
• Background color with opacity (e.g., black at 50%).
• Flexbox (Center alignment) to align text in the middle.
• Inside this text overlay div, add a Text Block with the desired message.

3. Configure Hover Effects

• Select the text overlay div and set its opacity to 0% (hidden by default).
• Click on Interactions > Element Trigger > Mouse Hover and add a new animation:
• On Hover In: Set opacity to 100% (fade in effect).
• On Hover Out: Set opacity back to 0%.
• Adjust animation duration for a smooth transition.

4. Final Adjustments

• Ensure your overlay div is positioned above the image in the Z-index.
• Test the hover effect in Preview Mode.
• Publish and review responsiveness on different screen sizes.

Summary

You’ve created a lightbox hover effect with text by layering a text overlay div on top of an image within a Lightbox, then setting up hover-based opacity transitions.
