Sliding Pill Tabs with Icons in Tailwind CSS

Grid / List / Cards: a solid indigo pill glides under icon-and-label tabs on cream stock, and the label inverts as the pill arrives. The original measured the pill in JavaScript; the port slides it with the index trick and turns each panel into a live layout preview of the view you chose.

What changed in the port

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

  • The measuring controller became w-[calc((100%-12px)/3)] translate-x-[calc(var(--i)*100%)]; the pill animates transform instead of left and width.
  • transition: color 0.3s 0.05s carried over as duration-300 delay-75 on the label.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: a preview card under the switcher redraws as a grid, list or stack of cards, so the tabs show what they do.
  • UI upgrade: inactive labels moved from 65% indigo (≈4.6:1) to a 5.5:1 token, the pill gained an indigo bloom, and a focus ring was added.

How this works

Same index trick, padded track. The track has 6px padding, so each tab is a third of 100% - 12px:

<span class="absolute inset-y-1.5 left-1.5 w-[calc((100%-12px)/3)]
  translate-x-[calc(var(--i)*100%)] rounded-full bg-ttb29-indigo
  transition-transform duration-500"></span>

The label colour transitions with a 75ms delay, so the pill arrives under the word just before the word turns cream — the detail that made the original feel physical, kept without the script.

Make it yours

  • Dark mode: stock #111114, track white/6, pill #818cf8.
  • Faster: duration-300 for snappier toggles.
  • Hide labels below sm for an icon-only switcher.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Labels sit above the pill with relative z-10.
  • If labels differ wildly in length, equal columns leave some padding — acceptable for a view switcher.
  • The previews are decorative; give real content its own accessible structure.
