Accessible Tailwind Close Button with Focus Ring (WCAG)

A close button that passes WCAG 2.4.7 and 2.4.11 on any surface: focus-visible:outline-3 plus a two-stop focus-visible:shadow-[…] halo paints ink-on-white-on-ink, so the ring reads on both the light and dark panels. The border and × are currentColor, so one class list serves both themes, and forced-colors: hands the glyph to the system palette in Windows High Contrast.

What changed in the port

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

  • The @media (forced-colors:active) block became three forced-colors: utilities on the element they change.
  • color-mix(in oklab, currentColor 10%, transparent) became hover:bg-current/10 — the opacity modifier works on currentColor too.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the two panels now carry surface labels and real <kbd>Tab</kbd> hints, each button has a distinct aria-label (the original announced two identical "Close panel" buttons), and the grid stacks under 22rem with a container query.
  • UI upgrade: dark-panel copy rose from oklch(0.8) to 0.84 and light-panel copy darkened to 0.43; both now clear 7:1.

How this works

One ring, three layers. The outline is the primary indicator; the shadow adds a white gap and a second ink ring outside it:

focus-visible:outline-3 focus-visible:outline-offset-2
focus-visible:outline-tcb02-ring
focus-visible:shadow-[0_0_0_6px_white,0_0_0_9px_var(--color-tcb02-ring)]

On white the inner outline carries the contrast; on navy the white gap does. Either way the indicator clears 3:1 against its neighbours, which is what WCAG 2.4.11 measures.

Themes via currentColor. Both panels use the same button markup — the only difference is text-tcb02-lmut vs text-tcb02-dmut on the panel.

Make it yours

  • Tighter ring: drop the shadow and keep outline-3 outline-offset-2 if every surface is light.
  • Square it up: rounded-xl → rounded-full for a circular variant — the ring follows the radius.
  • Brand ring: change --color-tcb02-ring; keep it ≥3:1 against white.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • focus: would show the ring on mouse click too; focus-visible: only shows it for keyboard and assistive-tech focus.
  • outline-hidden in v4 keeps an invisible outline for forced-colors mode; outline-none removes it — never use either without a replacement.
  • Box-shadow rings are dropped in forced-colors mode, which is why the outline stays the primary indicator.
