Tailwind Retro LED Pixel Button Group (Dot-Matrix Display Buttons)

A hardware-style transport panel: three keys drawn as dot-matrix LED displays that light up green, amber or red when selected. The dot grid is a tiled radial-gradient on before: (before:bg-size-[7px_7px]), scanlines sit on after:, and each key swaps one variable — has-checked:[--led:#3dff6e] — to re-colour dots, text and glow at once. Labels are set in Doto, a true dot-matrix face, and a status line reports the current mode.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Three input:checked + .btn-17__key--x{--led:…} rules became one has-checked:[--led:…] per key; the dot grid and scanlines are before:/after: utilities.
  • background-size:7px 7px became v4's bg-size-[7px_7px].
  • UI upgrade: labels are set in Doto, a real dot-matrix typeface, and a SYS status readout names the active mode in its LED colour.
  • Accessibility fix: removed aria-labels that contradicted the visible text (“WAIT” was announced as “Pause”); the panel label rose to 6:1.

How this works

Everything reads --led. The key sets a dim default; the checked state overrides it, and every layer that uses var(--led) lights up together:

<label class="[--led:rgb(120_120_120/0.22)] has-checked:[--led:#3dff6e]
  before:bg-[radial-gradient(circle,var(--led)_30%,transparent_34%)]
  before:bg-size-[7px_7px]">

The status readout is three spans, each shown by group-has-[#tbg17-run:checked]/panel:inline — the panel narrates its own state without script.

Make it yours

  • Finer matrix: before:bg-size-[5px_5px].
  • Different LEDs: change each key's has-checked:[--led:…].
  • Remove scanlines: delete the after: utilities.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Transitions on background can't interpolate the gradient itself — the dots switch colour, the glow fades.
  • Keep visible labels as the accessible name; don't add an aria-label that differs from the text.
  • Doto at small sizes is hard to read — keep it to display text.
