How can I fix the padding and font color on a Webflow select dropdown?

If your Webflow select dropdown is not displaying the correct padding or font color, you’ll need to adjust both the Select Field styling and potentially use custom CSS. Follow these steps:

1. Adjust Select Field Styles in Webflow

• Select the Dropdown Field in the Designer.
• Open the Style panel and adjust:
• Padding: Modify the padding under the Spacing section. Note that Webflow may not visually reflect certain adjustments inside the Designer.
• Font Color: Change the Text color under Typography to your desired shade.

2. Apply Custom CSS for Browser Consistency

Webflow doesn’t provide direct control over default browser styles for <select> elements. Use custom CSS by adding it to Project Settings → Custom Code (Inside <style> in the Head Section):

select {  padding: 10px; /* Adjust as needed */  color: #333; /* Set your font color */  background-color: white; /* Optional - to control background */  appearance: none; /* Removes default browser styling */}

3. Use a Custom Dropdown for Full Styling Control

If you need complete visual control, consider:

• Using a Webflow dropdown component instead of a native <select>.
• Applying interactions and styling to create a custom dropdown experience.

Summary

To fix padding and font color issues in a Webflow select dropdown, adjust the Style panel settings, add custom CSS if needed, and consider a custom dropdown for full control.
