Origami Fold Tailwind Close Button

Each bar of the × is a strip of creased paper: perspective-[400px] on the button, transform-3d on the rig, and on hover each pseudo-element tips back along its own length with group-hover:before:rotate-x-[58deg], its two-tone gradient becoming the lit and shaded faces of the fold. Keyboard focus now folds it too.

What changed in the port

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

  • The --fold variable and six hover rules became group-hover:before:rotate-x-[58deg] and its after: twin; the base rotate(45deg) never has to be restated.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: keyboard focus now plays the same fold (group-focus-visible:), so the effect is not mouse-only.
  • UI upgrade: under motion-reduce: the fold is removed entirely rather than just snapped, and the focus ring colour deepened to 4.6:1 on the parchment stage.

How this works

Two rotations on two properties. Tailwind puts rotate-45 on the CSS rotate property and rotate-x-[58deg] on transform. The browser applies rotate first in the chain, so the 45° turn happens in the parent's space and the X-tilt happens along the bar — exactly the original's rotate(45deg) rotateX(58deg):

before:rotate-45 group-hover:before:rotate-x-[58deg]
after:-rotate-45 group-hover:after:rotate-x-[58deg]

Make it yours

  • Deeper fold: rotate-x-[72deg] — past ~80° the bars vanish edge-on.
  • Paper tone: edit --color-tcb11-pa / pb.
  • Slower crease: duration-500 on the pseudo-elements.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • perspective must be on an ancestor of the rotating element, and transform-3d on every layer between them, or the fold flattens.
  • Gradients do not interpolate — the crease tone swaps instantly while the fold eases; that is intentional here.
