Lock Tumbler Tailwind Close Button (@property)

A brass combination dial: the × ratchets through hold-heavy keyframes like tumbler clicks while a masked tick ring counter-spins, its angle driven by a typed @property. Both motions are @theme animations — --animate-tcb12-tumble and --animate-tcb12-ring — applied with group-hover:animate-tcb12-*. The @property registration is the one thing that must stay CSS.

What changed in the port

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

  • Both @keyframes moved into @theme as --animate-tcb12-*, so they are applied with group-hover:animate-tcb12-tumble; only the @property registration stays CSS.
  • The prefixed -webkit-mask pair became one [mask:…] arbitrary property — every browser on v4's floor supports unprefixed mask.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: focusing the dial with the keyboard now plays the same tumble and ring spin, and the reduced-motion override uses animate-none! so it wins over both hover and focus.

How this works

Why @property. A gradient is an image; browsers cannot interpolate it. Registering --tcb12-a as an <angle> makes the variable animatable, and the gradient re-renders from it every frame:

@property --tcb12-a { syntax: "<angle>"; inherits: false; initial-value: 0deg; }
@keyframes tcb12-ring { to { --tcb12-a: -360deg; } }

The tumble uses plateaus (14%,26%) so the × pauses at each "click", the way a real dial catches.

Make it yours

  • Faster ring: change 2.4s in --animate-tcb12-ring.
  • Chrome finish: swap the brass tokens for oklch(0.85 0.01 250) / oklch(0.55 0.01 250).
  • Tick density: 8deg/10deg stops → 5deg/6deg.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Without the @property block the ring jumps instead of spinning — the rest still works.
  • @keyframes must live inside @theme (or be referenced by a theme animation) for v4 to emit them.

@property landed in Firefox 128, which is exactly Tailwind v4's floor.
