What changed in the port

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

  • input:checked + .tt27card became has-checked: on the card label; the border swap became a ring so the box never resizes.
  • rgba(124,108,255,0.25) became color-mix(in_oklab,var(--color-ttb07-acc)_45%,transparent) inside the shadow — re-theming the accent re-tints the shadow.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: each card gained an icon tile that fills violet when active, and the panel cell enters with starting:scale-[0.98] starting:opacity-0.
  • UI upgrade: captions raised from 55% white to a 6.7:1 muted token; cards are 16px-radius tiles with real tap height.

How this works

Labels as grid items. The radio sits inside each card, so the whole tile is the hit target and has-checked: styles it:

<label class="rounded-2xl bg-ttb07-card ring-1 ring-white/8
  has-checked:-translate-y-0.5 has-checked:ring-2 has-checked:ring-ttb07-acc
  has-checked:shadow-[0_10px_24px_-8px_color-mix(in_oklab,var(--color-ttb07-acc)_45%,transparent)]">

The icon tile inside changes with group-has-checked/tab:. Rings replace borders, so the lift never changes the box size.

Make it yours

  • Four tiles: grid-cols-2 sm:grid-cols-4.
  • Light bento: card white, ring black/8, keep the violet accent.
  • Add a sparkline SVG inside each tile for a richer dashboard read.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • On very narrow screens three cards get tight; captions truncate rather than wrap.
  • starting: plays each time a panel goes from hidden to shown — that's intended here.
  • Keep the metric text inside the label short; screen readers read the whole label as the radio's name.
