Neumorphic Inset Tabs in Tailwind CSS

Brass legends on a slate tray; the chosen label sits in a chiselled well — a dark inset shadow on its top-left, a faint highlight on the far lip, letters with a hard engraving shadow. The port adds a small brass indicator lamp per well so the state doesn't depend on reading depth alone.

What changed in the port

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

  • input:checked + .tt20b (background, colour, two inset shadows, text-shadow) became five has-checked: utilities, the shadows as arbitrary values.
  • rgba(201,161,94,0.6) became a solid brass-dim token rather than an alpha, so contrast doesn't depend on what's behind.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: a brass indicator lamp lights in the active well — neumorphic "pressed" states are often read as disabled, and the lamp removes the ambiguity.
  • UI upgrade: the tray gained an outer highlight and drop shadow so the wells read as cut into a raised plate; inactive labels raised to 5.2:1 on the tray, and a focus ring was added.

How this works

Depth is a tonal ladder. Stage, tray and well step down in lightness; the inset shadows only read because of that ladder:

has-checked:bg-ttb32-well
has-checked:shadow-[inset_2px_2px_4px_rgb(0_0_0/0.55),inset_-1px_-1px_2px_rgb(255_255_255/0.08)]
has-checked:[text-shadow:1px_1px_0_rgb(0_0_0/0.55)]

Neumorphism's known weakness is that "pressed" can read as "disabled". A lamp that lights brass in the active well is an unambiguous second signal.

Make it yours

  • Silver on graphite: brass → #c0c0c8.
  • Deeper carve: inset_3px_3px_6px_rgb(0_0_0/0.7).
  • Light neumorphism: invert the ladder and the shadow colours.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Keep the well 15%+ darker than the tray or the depth collapses.
  • Integer text-shadow offsets render consistently; sub-pixel ones don't.
  • The lamp is decorative; the radio announces the state.
