Neumorphic Tailwind Close Button (Soft UI)

Soft UI done responsibly: two opposing shadows — a light one up-left, a dark one down-right — extrude the button from the surface; active: swaps them for inset copies so it physically sinks with zero layout shift. The port adds what neumorphism usually forgets: a 3:1 hairline edge, a solid focus ring, and a glyph that turns accent on press so state is not signalled by shadow alone.

What changed in the port

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

  • The --lite / --dark color-mix() derivations became two @theme colours, so the shadow utilities read them as var(--color-tcb07-*).
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the button now lives in a soft-UI card with a real label ("Close focus mode"), gained a 3:1 hairline ring for WCAG 1.4.11, and its glyph turns accent on press so state is not conveyed by shadow alone.
  • UI upgrade: the hint was color-mix(… 60%, transparent) — roughly 2.6:1; it is now a solid oklch(0.45) token at 5.4:1.

}
/* Root rule: the full-bleed contract, stated in CSS as well as in the markup's utilities, so the

.tcb-07 {
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 100svh;
}
```

How this works

Same surface, two lights. The button's background equals the stage's; only shadows separate them:

bg-tcb07-surface
shadow-[-6px_-6px_14px_var(--color-tcb07-lite),6px_6px_14px_var(--color-tcb07-dark)]
active:shadow-[inset_-5px_-5px_12px_var(--color-tcb07-lite),inset_5px_5px_12px_var(--color-tcb07-dark)]

Why the tokens. lite and dark are the surface mixed toward white and black; keeping them in @theme means one edit re-tints the whole material.

Make it yours

  • Deeper relief: raise offsets to 10px and blur to 24px on larger buttons.
  • Squircle: rounded-full → rounded-[22px].
  • Dark soft UI: set surface to oklch(0.28 0.02 260) and derive lite/dark the same way.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Pure neumorphism fails WCAG 1.4.11 (non-text contrast) — keep the hairline ring or a visible glyph ≥3:1.
  • Shadows transition as a list; both states must have the same number of layers or the change snaps instead of easing.
