Outlined Tabs with Corner Markers in Tailwind CSS

Hairline-framed tabs on warm white. The chosen frame inks a 4px navy top edge and four dots pop onto its corners a beat later, like crop marks. The 4px top border is reserved transparent from the start, so selecting a tab never moves the row by a pixel.

What changed in the port

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

  • border-top:4px solid transparent → border-t-4 border-t-transparent; the inked state is has-checked:border-t-ttb24-navy.
  • The four .tt12tk-N classes (one per corner, each with its own transform:scale(0)) became four <i> elements sharing one class list apart from position.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: per-tab counts in tabular mono, and the 0.5px hairline (inconsistent at 1x) became 1px at 40% ink.
  • UI upgrade: resting labels went from 50% navy (≈4.2:1) to a 5.7:1 token; tabs wrap on phones.

How this works

Reserve the weight. A border that appears on selection would push content down by 4px. Declaring it transparent up front makes selection a colour change only:

<label class="border border-t-4 border-ttb24-navy/50 border-t-transparent
  has-checked:border-ttb24-navy has-checked:border-t-ttb24-navy">

The corner dots sit at -top-1 -left-1 etc. (half their size outside each corner) and pop with an overshoot ease after a 100ms delay, so the frame inks first and the marks follow.

Make it yours

  • Burgundy or forest ink: swap --color-ttb24-navy.
  • Square crop marks: drop rounded-full from the dots.
  • Hide counts by deleting the badge spans.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • 0.5px hairlines render unevenly at 1x; the port uses 1px at 50% ink instead.
  • Dots overlap neighbours if the gap is under 8px.
  • Counts are part of each radio's name — keep them meaningful.
