Theming

Every component reads its colors, radius, and spacing from CSS variables. php artisan ui:init injects this block for you. If you copy components by hand (Channel B), paste this once into your Tailwind v4 stylesheet and you are done, no component edits.

Paste the whole block, the @layer base rule at the bottom included. Tailwind v4 defaults border-color to currentColor, so a card or an accordion divider draws a black border until that rule points it at --border.

Theme variables

/*
 * LaralCN-UI theme tokens. Tailwind v4, CSS-first, OKLCH (shadcn parity).
 * These variables are consumed by components (bg-primary, text-muted-foreground,
 * rounded-md, ...). Edit the values to theme your project, do NOT edit component
 * files. Channel B users: copy this whole block into your app stylesheet once.
