Bookmark Ribbon Navigation in Tailwind CSS

A velvet aubergine ribbon trimmed in gilt hangs from a top rail over the active icon, on warm linen. The original measured each button to centre the ribbon; the port wraps the ribbon in a column-wide frame that slides with the index trick, so it stays centred at any width. Labels are set in Cinzel for the bookplate register.

What changed in the port

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

  • The centring formula (offsetLeft + offsetWidth/2 − w/2) became a column-wide frame with justify-items-center, moved by translate-x-[calc(var(--i)*100%)].
  • The swallow-tail clip-path ported verbatim as an arbitrary property; the gilt hem is an after: stripe.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: labels in Cinzel (a classical inscriptional capital) and a panel line under the nav; the drop shadow moved to the unclipped frame so it follows the tail without a filter on the clipped shape.
  • UI upgrade: inactive labels moved from 50% velvet (≈4.3:1) to a 5.6:1 token; the ribbon animates transform rather than left.

Demo: Bookmark Ribbon Navigation in Tailwind CSS
Source: https://codefronts.com/navigation/tailwind-css-tabs/bookmark-ribbon-navigation-tailwind-css/

A velvet aubergine ribbon trimmed in gilt hangs from a top rail over the active icon, on warm linen. The original measured each button to centre the ribbon; the port wraps the ribbon in a column-wide frame that slides with the index trick, so it stays centred at any width. Labels are set in Cinzel for the bookplate register.

How this works

Centre by construction. Instead of computing offsetLeft + offsetWidth/2 − ribbonWidth/2, put the ribbon in a frame exactly one column wide and centre it there; move the frame:

<span class="absolute top-7 left-3 grid w-[calc((100%-24px)/4)] justify-items-center
  translate-x-[calc(var(--i)*100%)] transition-transform">
  <span class="h-21 w-14 bg-ttb31-velvet
    [clip-path:polygon(0_0,100%_0,100%_calc(100%_-_10px),50%_100%,0_calc(100%_-_10px))]"></span>
</span>

The drop shadow sits on the frame, not the clipped ribbon, so it traces the swallow-tail.

Make it yours

  • Oxblood or forest velvet: change --color-ttb31-velvet; keep the rail the same colour.
  • Rose-gold hem: --color-ttb31-gilt: #c99a7a.
  • Three items: divide by 3 and widen the ribbon to 64px.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • The rail and ribbon share top-7 — move them together.
  • Cinzel is all capitals; keep labels to one short word.
  • Active labels are cream on velvet (12:1); inactive labels use a darker velvet tint for 5:1.
