Bauhaus Color Block Tabs in Tailwind CSS

Four primary tiles — red, yellow, black and cream — each marked with a Bauhaus primitive: circle, square, triangle, half-moon. The chosen tile rises 6px and drops a hard shadow; there's no shared highlight colour because the tile itself is the indicator.

What changed in the port

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

  • input:checked + .tt10b lift and shadow became has-checked:-translate-y-1.5 has-checked:shadow-[0_6px_0_…].
  • The cream tile's combined inset … , 0 6px 0 shadow (repeated in two rules) became a ring plus the shared shadow utility — one place to edit each.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: each tile carries a Bauhaus primitive (circle, square, triangle, half-moon) that turns or grows when chosen; tiles are 80px tall and wrap to 2×2 on phones.
  • UI upgrade: the black tile drops a red shadow instead of an invisible black-on-black one, and keyboard focus is now visible.

How this works

The shadow is where the tile was. A 6px lift and a 6px zero-blur shadow move together; change one and you must change the other:

has-checked:-translate-y-1.5 has-checked:shadow-[0_6px_0_var(--color-ttb22-ink)]

The cream tile keeps its inset ring when lifted because the ring is a separate ring utility, not part of the shadow stack the original had to repeat in two rules.

Make it yours

  • Your own primaries: keep three heavy tiles and one paper tile.
  • Stricter Swiss: replace the overshoot ease with ease-out.
  • Drop the shapes for text-only tiles.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Each tile needs its own text colour for contrast — yellow takes ink, red takes cream.
  • Lifted tiles need bottom padding on the row or the shadow clips.
  • Shapes are aria-hidden; the word names the tab.
