Tailwind Brushed Brass Plate Button

A machined brass nameplate: horizontal brush grain from stacked repeating gradients, four countersunk screws, engraved letterforms cut with a two-shadow bevel, and a specular band that sweeps across the metal on hover. The grain is the collection's first clear case for keeping paint in CSS.

What changed in the port

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

  • Utilities: the plate's box, the engraved text-shadow, the elevation stack, the press travel, the sheen sweep, all four screws' positions and rotations, every state. CSS: the brush-grain background (six layers), the screw head's radial gradient and its slot pseudo-element.
  • This is the first demo where the port deliberately stops. The grain as an arbitrary utility is a ~300-character class with eighteen underscore escapes; as three CSS lines it is legible and editable. The test the collection applies: would a designer tune this value? A brush-grain frequency stack, no. A sheen duration, yes — so that one is a utility.
  • The screws show the opposite decision on the same element: their position and rotation are design values (utilities), their head shading is a texture recipe (CSS). Splitting one element's styling across both layers by that rule is normal, not a smell.
  • A11y fix from the CSS original: --engrave was oklch(0.33 0.05 72) against a mid-plate around oklch(0.66) — roughly 3.4:1, under the minimum for 16px text. The port darkens it to 0.29 (≈4.6:1). Engraving is meant to be subtle, not unreadable.

How this works

The grain stays in the stylesheet, and the notes say why. Three stacked repeating-linear-gradients at 1px/2px/5px periods plus a diagonal base is one texture recipe — six background layers that only make sense together:

.tb-21__plate{
  background:
    repeating-linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255,255,255,.10) 0 1px, transparent 1px 2px,
                                     rgba(0,0,0,.07) 2px 3px, transparent 3px 5px),
    repeating-linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255,255,255,.05) 0 1px, transparent 1px 7px),
    linear-gradient(112deg, var(--brass-hi), var(--brass) 34%, var(--brass-lo) 62%, var(--brass) 86%);
}

As an arbitrary utility that is a 300-character class with eighteen underscores. Nobody would edit it, which means it has stopped being a design decision and become a liability.

Everything else is utilities, including the screws: each is a size-2.5 rounded-full span with a radial-gradient background and its own rest rotation, positioned by top-2 left-2.5 and friends. The slot is an after: pseudo-element with a clip-path bar.

Make it yours

  • Steel or copper: edit the three brass tokens. The grain is colour-independent.
  • Vertical cut: change 90deg to 0deg in both repeating gradients.
  • Remove the screws for a floating plate, or keep two for a hinged look.
  • Deepen the engraving by raising both text-shadow alphas equally — unequal values look painted.
  • The sheen's duration-[850ms] is the slowest in the collection; metal wants a lazy highlight.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Engraved text is inherently low-contrast. Keep it large and bold, and measure against the plate's mid-tone, not the highlight.
  • 1px repeating gradients shimmer on fractional-DPR screens. Whole-pixel stops, and never animate the grain's background position.
  • Six background layers plus a moving highlight is the practical paint ceiling for a component this size. Never on a list item.
  • Metal implies a physical press. Without real active: travel it feels dead.
  • Forced-colors drops all texture — keep the border and label legible or the plate stops reading as a control.
