Tailwind Pulsing Glow Radio Button (Status Picker)

A calm signal: the checked radio emits soft glow rings that swell outward and dissolve like a sonar ping, one ring then another on a slow four-second cycle. Each option's colour is one arbitrary property, [--c:oklch(…)]; the second ring is offset with [animation-delay:2s]; and a live presence preview at the top shows how you'll appear.

What changed in the port

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

  • The inline style="--c:…" attributes became arbitrary-property classes ([--c:var(--color-trb24-online)]) that read theme tokens, and every color-mix(var(--c) N%, transparent) became (--c)/N.
  • .ping--late{animation-delay:2s} became [animation-delay:2s]; arbitrary properties sort after named utilities, so the longhand survives the shorthand.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: a presence preview (avatar + status dot + "You appear as…") shows the consequence of the choice, recoloured with group-has-[[value=…]:checked]/status:.
  • UI upgrade: sublines rose from #707a96 (4.2:1) to 7.2:1 and the unchecked ring from 2.5:1 to 3.1:1.

Demo: Tailwind Pulsing Glow Radio Button (Status Picker)
Source: https://codefronts.com/components/tailwind-css-radio-buttons/tailwind-pulsing-glow-radio-button-status-picker/

A calm signal: the checked radio emits soft glow rings that swell outward and dissolve like a sonar ping, one ring then another on a slow four-second cycle. Each option's colour is one arbitrary property, [--c:oklch(…)]; the second ring is offset with [animation-delay:2s]; and a live presence preview at the top shows how you'll appear.

How this works

Two rings, one keyframe. Both ring spans use animate-trb24-ping; the second adds [animation-delay:2s]. Because the delay is a separate longhand listed after the shorthand utility, it survives. A new ring departs as the old one dissolves, so the pulse never has a dead gap.

Why a custom ping. Tailwind's built-in animate-ping is a 1s alarm; a status picker wants a slow breath that peaks at 45% opacity, so the collection ships its own token.

Make it yours

  • Cycle length: the 4s in the token and the 2s delay scale together.
  • Reach: the keyframe's end scale (2.4).
  • Per-option colour: the [--c:…] class on each label.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • If the delay utility lands before the animate utility in the cascade, the shorthand resets it — arbitrary properties sort after, which is why this works.
  • Keep peak ring opacity under 0.5; pulses compete with text contrast.
  • Infinite animation belongs only on the checked item.

:has() gates the pulse to the checked row; transform/opacity keyframes are universal.
