What is the best way to create a yellow line under the menu-item 'Projects' on the 'Projects' page in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • In Webflow, use the 'Current' state to apply a yellow bottom border to the 'Projects' menu item on its page. 
  • Adjust border properties and test across breakpoints to ensure correct display on all devices.

Creating a highlighted menu item with a yellow line under the 'Projects' menu when on the 'Projects' page can enhance user navigation. Here's how to achieve it in Webflow:

​

1. Use Webflow's Current State Feature

  • Select the 'Projects' menu item in the Designer when you are on the 'Projects' page.
  • Note that the menu item automatically gets a class name with 'Current' appended (e.g., menu-item current).
  • Ensure the 'Current' state is active before applying style changes.

​

2. Style the Line Under the Menu Item

  • Set the menu item to have a bottom border. This can be done by adjusting the bottom border property in the Style panel.
  • Select a yellow color for the border to match your design needs.
  • Adjust the border-width to make sure it’s visible enough, like 2px or 3px, based on your design preferences.

​

3. Test Across Devices

  • Check the design in different breakpoints to ensure the highlight appears correctly on both desktop and mobile versions.
  • Adjust padding and margins if the design shifts, ensuring the line is positioned correctly under the word 'Projects'.

​

Summary

By using the 'Current' state in Webflow, you can easily style the 'Projects' menu item to have a yellow underline on the 'Projects' page. Use a bottom border for the menu item and ensure consistent rendering across devices.
