Folded Corner Tabs in Tailwind CSS (clip-path)

Sand-coloured folio tabs on charcoal whose top-right corner folds down — 8px on hover, 18px when chosen — with a darker underside triangle and a 4px lift. The port fixes two bugs in the original: its shadow was clipped away by its own clip-path, and its 4-point and 5-point polygons couldn't interpolate smoothly.

What changed in the port

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

  • The three clip-path states became arbitrary [clip-path:…] utilities; hover uses group-not-has-checked/tab:group-hover/tab: so it never overrides the checked fold.
  • The fold underside now scales from its corner (origin-top-right scale-0 → 100) instead of transitioning width and height.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: bug fix — the original's box-shadow sat on the clipped element and was clipped away; the clip moved to an inner plate and the label carries a drop-shadow that follows the fold.
  • UI upgrade: bug fix — the inactive polygon had 4 points and the folded ones 5, which can't interpolate; all states now have five. Panels are full-strength sand (was 85% alpha), and a focus ring was added.

How this works

Same vertex count, every state. A clip-path only animates between polygons with matching point counts. The flat state is a pentagon with two coincident points:

[clip-path:polygon(0_0,100%_0,100%_0,100%_100%,0_100%)]
not-has-checked:hover:[clip-path:polygon(0_0,calc(100%_-_8px)_0,100%_8px,100%_100%,0_100%)]
has-checked:[clip-path:polygon(0_0,calc(100%_-_18px)_0,100%_18px,100%_100%,0_100%)]

Shadows outside the clip. clip-path clips everything the element paints, including its box-shadow. The plate now clips, and its parent label carries a drop-shadow filter, which traces the folded outline.

Make it yours

  • Deeper fold: replace every 18px with 28px, fold triangle included.
  • Sage or rose stock: change --color-ttb30-sand and its lighter active token.
  • Left fold: mirror the polygon to the top-left corner.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Keep the fold triangle's size equal to the fold depth.
  • drop-shadow on the label follows its children's alpha, so the shadow wraps the fold correctly.
  • Equal vertex counts are required in every state — including hover.
