Liquid Fill Checkbox Animation in Tailwind CSS — Water Wave

Water rises into the box on check: an oversized, wavy-topped blob slides up from translate-y-[105%] to group-has-checked:translate-y-0, then keeps sloshing with animate-tcb13-wave. Hovering an empty box now lets the water peek in, previewing the action.

What changed in the port

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

  • .liquid{border-radius:42% 46% 0 0/14px;transform:translateY(105%)} became rounded-[42%_46%_0_0/14px] translate-y-[105%] — underscores are spaces.
  • The ::after tick with transition:opacity .25s .18s became an SVG with delay-180 duration-250.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: hovering an empty box lets the water peek in (group-hover:translate-y-[78%]), previewing the action; rows gained a goal caption.
  • UI upgrade: the empty border rose from #b9cad6 (1.7:1) to 3:1.

How this works

A blob wider than its box. The liquid is 150% wide and 130% tall with asymmetric elliptical top corners; overflow-hidden on the box crops it to a wavy waterline.

State order. Hover (translate-y-[78%]) and checked (translate-y-0) both set translate; Tailwind orders group-has-checked: after group-hover:, so checked wins.

Slosh. The keyframes animate border-radius only — a cheap paint on a 28px element.

Make it yours

  • Colour: --color-tcb13-water.
  • Faster fill: duration-300.
  • Disable slosh: remove group-has-checked:animate-tcb13-wave.
  • Progress bar: reuse the liquid on a wide track with translate-y set from a style variable.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Border-radius animation repaints; don't use it on hundreds of rows.
  • The tick needs relative z-10 to sit above the water.
  • Reduced motion stops the slosh and the rise but keeps the filled state.
