A New Color Palette
Tailwind 2.0 introduces a brand-new color palette packed with 220 colors, including 5 different shades of gray. It's beautiful!
Dark Mode
That's right. Tailwind now officially supports dark mode. And it looks extremely easy to set up!
📢 I've just published an article showing you how to use the new features to get dark mode set up in your own project! Check it out HERE!
Extra Wide 2XL Breakpoint
This is a big one for me because I have a 49" ultra-wide monitor. This new breakpoint is designed for 1536px and larger.
Extended Spacing
With Tailwind 2.0, the default spacing scale has been extended to include micro values as well as new values for use-cases where larger values are needed!
Group-Hover & Focus-Within By Default
The group-hover and focus-within classes are now part of the default functionality out-of-the-box with Tailwind 2.0!
Conclusion
There's a lot more that Tailwind 2.0 offers, so make sure to head over to the documentation site to learn more!
I can't wait to start using Tailwind 2.0!
