[H1] daisyUI themes for Tailwind CSS
How to enable, customize, and manage daisyUI themes in Tailwind CSS. daisyUI comes with 35 built-in themes for Tailwind CSS. They instantly transform your website's look and save you from designing a color system from scratch. You can also create your own custom themes or customize built-in themes. You can manage themes by adding brackets in front of @plugin "daisyui" in your CSS file. app.css @import "tailwindcss";
- @plugin "daisyui";
+ @plugin "daisyui" {
+ themes: light --default, dark --prefersdark;
+ } themes is a comma-separated list of theme names you want to enable. You can set --default flag for a theme to make it the default theme. You can also set --prefersdark flag for a theme to make it the default theme for dark mode (prefers-color-scheme: dark).
[H2] Enable a built-in theme
By default, light and dark themes are enabled. Let's enable cupcake theme: app.css @import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui" {
themes: light --default, dark --prefersdark, cupcake;
} And set cupcake theme for the page: index.html <html data-theme="cupcake"></html> I suggest using theme-change, so you can switch themes and save selected theme in local storage.
[H2] List of themes
Try them: light A A A A dark A A A A cupcake A A A A bumblebee A A A A emerald A A A A corporate A A A A synthwave A A A A retro A A A A cyberpunk A A A A valentine A A A A halloween A A A A garden A A A A forest A A A A aqua A A A A lofi A A A A pastel A A A A fantasy A A A A wireframe A A A A black A A A A luxury A A A A dracula A A A A cmyk A A A A autumn A A A A business A A A A acid A A A A lemonade A A A A night A A A A coffee A A A A winter A A A A dim A A A A nord A A A A sunset A A A A caramellatte A A A A abyss A A A A silk A A A A
[H2] Enable all themes
Enable all 35 built-in themes by setting themes to all: app.css @import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui" {
themes: all;
}
[H2] Disable a theme
To disable dark theme for example, remove it from the list. Now only light theme is included: app.css @import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui" {
- themes: light --default, dark --prefersdark;
+ themes: light --default;
} If for some reason you want to disable all themes and remove all daisyUI colors, set themes to false: app.css @import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui" {
themes: false;
}
[H2] How to use a theme only for a section of a page?
Add data-theme='THEME_NAME' to any element and everything inside will have your theme. You can nest themes and there is no limit! You can force a section of your HTML to only use a specific theme. index.html <html data-theme="dark">
<div data-theme="light">
This div will always use light theme
<span data-theme="retro">This span will always use retro theme!</span>
</div>
</html>
[H2] How to add a new custom theme?
To add a new theme, use @plugin "daisyui/theme" {} in your CSS file, with the following structure: app.css @import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui";
@plugin "daisyui/theme" {
name: "mytheme";
default: true; /* set as default */
prefersdark: false; /* set as default dark mode (prefers-color-scheme:dark) */
color-scheme: light; /* color of browser-provided UI */
--color-base-100: oklch(98% 0.02 240);
--color-base-200: oklch(95% 0.03 240);
--color-base-300: oklch(92% 0.04 240);
--color-base-content: oklch(20% 0.05 240);
--color-primary: oklch(55% 0.3 240);
--color-primary-content: oklch(98% 0.01 240);
--color-secondary: oklch(70% 0.25 200);
--color-secondary-content: oklch(98% 0.01 200);
--color-accent: oklch(65% 0.25 160);
--color-accent-content: oklch(98% 0.01 160);
--color-neutral: oklch(50% 0.05 240);
--color-neutral-content: oklch(98% 0.01 240);
--color-info: oklch(70% 0.2 220);
--color-info-content: oklch(98% 0.01 220);
--color-success: oklch(65% 0.25 140);
--color-success-content: oklch(98% 0.01 140);
--color-warning: oklch(80% 0.25 80);
--color-warning-content: oklch(20% 0.05 80);
--color-error: oklch(65% 0.3 30);
--color-error-content: oklch(98% 0.01 30);
/* border radius */
--radius-selector: 1rem;
--radius-field: 0.25rem;
--radius-box: 0.5rem;
/* base sizes */
--size-selector: 0.25rem;
--size-field: 0.25rem;
/* border size */
--border: 1px;
/* effects */
--depth: 1;
--noise: 0;
} If you're using CDN and you want to use a custom theme, use it like this: app.css :root:has(input.theme-controller[value=mytheme]:checked),[data-theme="mytheme"] { /* mytheme is the name of the custom theme */
color-scheme: light;
--color-base-100: oklch(98% 0.02 240);
/* ...rest of CSS variables like above example */
}
[H2] How to customize an existing theme?
To customize a built-in theme, you can use the same structure as adding a new theme, but with the same name as the built-in theme. For example, to customize the light theme: app.css @import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui";
@plugin "daisyui/theme" {
name: "light";
default: true;
--color-primary: blue;
--color-secondary: teal;
} All the other values will be inherited from the original theme.
[H2] How to add custom styles for a specific theme?
You can write custom style for your elements only for a specific theme. In this example, .my-btn class only will have this style on light theme. app.css [data-theme="light"] {
.my-btn {
background-color: #1EA1F1;
border-color: #1EA1F1;
}
.my-btn:hover {
background-color: #1C96E1;
border-color: #1C96E1;
}
}
[H2] How to apply Tailwind's 'dark:' selector for specific themes
daisyUI can be configured to use Tailwind's dark: prefix For example if you want a padding only for a daisyUI dark theme you can use dark:p-10 In the example below, 'night' is darkmode theme so we add it to @variant dark app.css @import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui" {
themes: winter --default, night --prefersdark;
}
@custom-variant dark (&:where([data-theme=night], [data-theme=night] *)); index.html <div class="p-10 dark:p-20">
I will have 10 padding on winter theme and 20 padding on night theme

[H1] daisyUI colors
How to use daisyUI semantic colors and theme-aware color variables in Tailwind CSS.
[H2] Introduction
daisyUI is fully themeable and colorable in Tailwind CSS, So instead of using constant color utility classes like: bg-green-500 bg-orange-600 bg-blue-700 etc. It's suggested to use semantic color utility classes like: bg-primary bg-secondary bg-accent etc. Each color name contains CSS variables and each daisyUI theme applies color values to the utility classes when it is applied.
[H2] Benefits
Semantic color names make more sense because when we design interfaces, we don't just use any random color. We define a specific color palette with names like primary, secondary, etc. and we only use those specific colors in our interfaces. Also, using semantic color names makes theming easier. You wouldn't have to define dark-mode colors for every single element and you wouldn't be limited to only light/dark themes. you can have multiple themes available and each theme is just a few lines of CSS variables. Example of theming a div with hardcoded color values Using hardcoded color names This is a hardcoded dark text on a light background,
it needs double the amount of class names to support dark mode. <div class="bg-zinc-100">
<div class="border-zinc-200 bg-zinc-50 text-zinc-800">
This is a hardcoded dark text on a light background, it needs double the amount of class names
to support dark mode.
</div>
</div> ? Fixed color names, hardcoded based on the value ? No automatic dark mode ?‍? You have to add dark-mode colors for every element ? high maintenance cost ? slow development ? hard to change a theme ⛓️‍? high chance of inconsistency ? You are limited to 2 themes only: light and dark Using semantic color names This is dark text on a light background,
which switches to light text on a dark background in dark mode. <div class="bg-base-200">
<div class="bg-base-100 border-base-300 text-base-content">
This is dark text on a light background, which switches to light text on a dark background in
dark mode.
</div>
</div> ? Semantic names, based on the purpose of the color ✨ Automatic dark mode ? No need to add any dark-mode class names ? Zero maintenance cost to add a theme ? Fast development ⚡️ Easy to change themes ? All colors are consistent based on the design system ♾️ Unlimited themes, easy to switch
[H2] List of all daisyUI color names

[H2] How to use
Some daisyUI components come with modifier class names and that modifier class name will apply a color. For example: <button class="btn btn-primary">Button</button> Or: <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox checkbox-secondary" /> These components automatically set the correct background color, text color, border color, etc as needed so you don't need to set those colors manually. For example btn-primary sets primary color for background and border, and sets primary-content color for the text automatically as default. You can customize them using utility classes if you want to change the color. You can also use color names in utility classes just like Tailwind's original color names. These are utility classes that can be used with a color name: CSS Classbg-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties.csstext-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties.cssborder-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties.cssfrom-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties-extended.cssvia-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties-extended.cssto-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties-extended.cssring-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties-extended.cssfill-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties-extended.cssstroke-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties-extended.cssshadow-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties-extended.cssoutline-{COLOR_NAME}Also available on CDN /colors/properties-extended.cssdivide-{COLOR_NAME}accent-{COLOR_NAME}caret-{COLOR_NAME}decoration-{COLOR_NAME}placeholder-{COLOR_NAME}ring-offset-{COLOR_NAME} So you can use bg-primary, border-secondary, etc. Read more about daisyUI color utility classes.
[H3] Opacity values
You can also use opacity values with color names. <div class="bg-primary/50">Primary background with 50% opacity</div> If you're using daisyUI as a Tailwind CSS plugin, the number can be any value between 0 and 100. If you're using the daisyUI CDN file, only opacity values of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 are available.
[H2] Color opacity and muted colors
base-content is the text color of the page by default. It's a dark color on light themes and it's a light color on dark themes. nord theme text-base-content dracula theme text-base-content Sometimes we need a muted text. something with less contrast. The best way to do this is using Tailwind CSS color opacity modifier by adding a /50 (or any other value) to the end of color name. Like text-base-content/50 nord theme text-base-content text-base-content/70 text-base-content/50 text-base-content/30 dracula theme text-base-content text-base-content/70 text-base-content/50 text-base-content/30 The advantage of using opacity is that it gives a constant result on all themes, for all colors.You can use it with any opacity value, you can use it for any color.For example primary-content: nord theme text-primary-content text-primary-content/50 dracula theme text-primary-content text-primary-content/50 Prev Config Next Themes Do you have a question?
