Rotate on Hover Tailwind Close Button

The most-searched close-button animation, done cleanly: a 180° group-hover:rotate-180 on the glyph with an ease-out-expo curve, the ring and bars shifting to the accent. grid place-items-center kills the sub-pixel wobble that plagues spinning icons, and v4's hover: is already gated behind @media (hover:hover) — the original's hand-written media query simply disappears.

What changed in the port

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

  • The original's @media (hover:hover){…} block vanished: v4 compiles every hover: utility inside that query already.
  • color-mix(in oklab, var(--ink) 30%, transparent) became border-tcb13-ink/30.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: keyboard focus spins the glyph and colours the ring too, and the accent darkened slightly (0.55 → 0.52) so the focused border clears 5:1 on white.

How this works

Rotate the wrapper, not the bars. The bars live on before:/after: with their own ±45°. Spinning the parent span 180° maps the × onto itself — it reads as a spin but ends exactly where it started, so there is no "wrong" resting angle if the pointer leaves mid-turn.

<span class="… transition-transform duration-450 ease-[cubic-bezier(.22,1,.36,1)]
  group-hover:rotate-180 group-focus-visible:rotate-180">

Make it yours

  • Quarter turn: rotate-90 reads snappier on small buttons.
  • Spin + shrink: add group-hover:scale-85.
  • Neutral hover: drop the accent classes to keep only the motion.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • will-change is not needed for a one-shot transform; the original's hover-gated will-change was dropped.
  • Rotating an element with a non-integer centre causes shimmer — keep glyph spans at even pixel sizes.
