Customization

Tailwind is built to be fully customizable, and thus, the tailwind.config.js file that comes with this preset includes a handful of customizations to help get you started. These include adding Inter to the default font stack, a theme color palette for quick customization, as well as configuration for the Tailwind custom-forms plugin., _(*17)

The theme color palette, by default, simply destructures Tailwind's blue color palette, but can be easily swapped out for your own color palette. For more information, visit the Tailwind color customization page., _(*18)

This preset is designed to utilize many Tailwind features, including using a plugin, overriding default theme values, extracting components using @apply, and configuration for PurgeCSS. To really get the most out of Tailwind, you need to use it! Take a deep dive into Tailwind's incredible documentation, and most importantly... get your hands dirty with it! I hope this preset helps you out!, _(*19)
