Inverted Rubber Stamp Tabs in Tailwind CSS

A crimson ink bar with cream legends; the chosen tab inverts to crimson-on-cream in a single frame while an inset shadow thumps in and lifts — a rubber stamp bedding into paper. The port runs the impact from has-checked:animate-ttb23-impact and adds a stamped "filed" mark that lands on the panel.

What changed in the port

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

  • transition: background 0.05s steps(1,end) carried over as duration-50 ease-[steps(1,end)]; the impact keyframe moved into @theme behind has-checked:animate-ttb23-impact.
  • The original's :has() list referenced six radios for a three-tab demo; the port lists exactly the panels that exist.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: a "Filed" rubber-stamp mark lands on the panel (scale 1.6 → 1, −8°) each time a page is chosen, completing the stamp metaphor.
  • UI upgrade: the bar is set in Space Mono with a 56px row height, framed on a desk-paper stage; a dashed inset focus ring in the current ink colour.

How this works

Snap, then thump. The colour swap uses a one-step easing so there's no in-between pink; the impact is a keyframe that pushes an inset shadow in and releases it:

@keyframes ttb23-impact {
  20% { box-shadow: inset 0 4px 14px rgb(0 0 0 / 0.45); }
  100% { box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 0 rgb(0 0 0 / 0); }
}

An animation applied by a selector restarts each time the selector starts matching, so every newly checked tab thumps once. The panel's stamp mark uses the same trick: it re-lands whenever its panel is revealed.

Make it yours

  • Wetter stamp: deepen the 20% shadow to inset 0 6px 20px rgb(0 0 0/0.6).
  • Blue ledger: crimson → #1e40af.
  • Remove the "filed" mark for a quieter panel.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Cream on crimson is 5.3:1 — keep labels at 12px or larger.
  • The instant colour swap is meaning, not motion; it stays under reduced motion while the thump is removed.
  • The stamp mark is decorative (aria-hidden).
