Tailwind Video Player Overlay Close Button

Player chrome that gets out of the way: a gradient top bar with a blurred glass × that fades after 2.4s of stillness via group-data-idle/player:opacity-0. The port closes the original's keyboard gap — any key press or focus inside the player now wakes the chrome, and it never idles while focus is inside — and adds a matching bottom scrubber that hides with it.

What changed in the port

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

  • .is-idle .topbar and :focus-within .topbar became group-data-idle/player: utilities; the script sets data-idle and never idles while focus is inside.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the × grew from 36px to 44px, the chrome now wakes on keydown and focusin (keyboard users could previously tab to an invisible button), and a bottom scrubber fades with the top bar.
  • UI upgrade: the ▶ text glyph became a clip-path triangle that renders identically on every platform, and the stage hint rose from 55% white to a 7:1 token.

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

.tcb-09 {

}
```

## JavaScript
```js
(() => {
  const player = document.getElementById('tcb-09-player');
  if (!player || player.dataset.wired) return;
  player.dataset.wired = '1';
  const IDLE = 2400;
  let timer = 0;
  const sleep = () => { if (!player.matches(':focus-within')) player.setAttribute('data-idle', ''); };
  const wake = () => {
    player.removeAttribute('data-idle');
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = setTimeout(sleep, IDLE);
  };
  ['pointermove', 'pointerdown', 'keydown', 'focusin'].forEach((ev) => player.addEventListener(ev, wake));
  player.addEventListener('focusout', wake);
  wake();
})();
```

How this works

One attribute, many listeners. Every chrome element reads the player's idle flag:

<div class="group/player …" data-idle>
  <div class="… transition-opacity group-data-idle/player:pointer-events-none
    group-data-idle/player:opacity-0">

Keyboard parity. The script wakes on pointermove, pointerdown, keydown and focusin, and refuses to idle while :focus-within matches — so a keyboard user tabbing to the × can always see it.

Make it yours

  • Idle delay: change IDLE in the script (YouTube uses ~3s).
  • Always-on close: move the × out of the fading bar if your product requires a persistent exit.
  • Light scrim: from-black/40 for bright footage.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Hidden chrome must also be pointer-events-none, or invisible buttons steal clicks meant for the video.
  • Do not idle on touch devices before the first tap, or the controls vanish before the user has seen them.
