Tailwind Pharma Gel Capsule Button

A two-tone gelatin capsule with a wet specular streak, a visible seam where the halves overlap, and a dose of liquid that rises through the shell on hover. Press it and the capsule compresses along its long axis like soft gelatin.

What changed in the port

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

  • Utilities: the dose's rise (origin, both scales, the transition), the meniscus and depth shadows, the specular streak with its blur, the compression press, every state. CSS: the two-layer shell (halves + seam) and the dose's own fill gradient, both because they read --tb-26-cap or three liquid tokens at once.
  • scale-y-[0.22] → scale-y-[0.84] as separate-axis utilities is clearer than the CSS scale:1 .22, which is easy to misread. Same for the press: scale-x-[1.03] scale-y-90 states "wider and shorter" explicitly.
  • Asymmetric padding (pl-[calc(var(--tb-26-cap)+1rem)] pr-9) is an accessibility decision disguised as layout: it puts the label on the saturated half, away from the white streak.
  • A11y fix from the CSS original: --body was oklch(0.58 0.19 28) and the label pure white — about 4.1:1, just under the minimum for 16px bold. The port darkens the body half to 0.54 (≈4.8:1). The capsule looks the same; the label is now legible to a WCAG checker as well as to the eye.

How this works

The dose has square corners on purpose. It is a plain rectangle anchored to the cap end; the capsule's own overflow-hidden rounded-full clips it, so the liquid takes the exact shape of the rounded end. Round the dose itself and you get a second pill inside a pill — the classic version of this mistake.

class="absolute inset-y-0 left-0 right-[calc(100%-var(--tb-26-cap))]
  origin-bottom scale-y-[0.22] group-hover:scale-y-[0.84]"

The two halves and the seam are one background pair — a hard-stop gradient at the cap width, plus a narrow overlap band of dark-then-light that reads as the join. Both stay in the CSS block: they are driven by --tb-26-cap in four places, and an arbitrary utility repeating that variable four times is strictly worse.

The label sits on the saturated half. Not decoration — a white specular streak over the pale half destroys text contrast, so the padding is asymmetric by design.

Make it yours

  • Recolour the halves independently with --color-tb26-cap and --color-tb26-body; one light, one saturated is the pharmacy look.
  • Rest level is the dose's base scale-y-[0.22]: a part-dose. 0.84 is nearly full.
  • Remove the seam layer from the CSS for a single-piece softgel.
  • Matte gelcap: raise blur-[1.5px]. Hard acrylic: drop it to zero.
  • Cap width is one variable, --tb-26-cap, and the seam follows it.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Hard-stop gradients at exactly 50% shimmer on fractional-DPR displays. The seam is offset by a few tenths of a percent for that reason.
  • Non-uniform scale distorts text. Keep the label in its own child with a counter-scale if you push compression past 0.9.
  • Don't round the liquid layer. Let the parent's clip shape it.
  • rounded-full plus overflow-hidden clips inset rings — keep focus on outline-*.
  • Anything resembling medication needs care in production. Don't imply dosage with a decorative button.
