    Dark Mode Setup

    Enable class-based dark mode in tailwind.config.ts:

    hljs ts
    export default {
      darkMode: 'class',
      // ...
    }
    

    Glassmorphism

    hljs html
    <div class=\"bg-white/10 backdrop-blur-md border border-white/20 rounded-xl p-6\">
      Glass card content
    </div>
    

    Gradient

    Text

    hljs html
    <h1 class=\"bg-gradient-to-r from-orange-400 to-pink-600 bg-clip-text text-transparent\">
      Gradient Heading
    </h1>
    

    Responsive

    Grid

    hljs html
    <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6\">
      <!-- cards -->
    </div>
    

    Custom Animations

    hljs ts
    // 
      tailwind.config.ts
    keyframes: {
      float: {
        '0%, 100%': { transform: 'translateY(0px)' },
        '50%': { transform: 'translateY(-20px)' },
      },
    },
    animation: {
      
      float: 'float 6s ease-in-out infinite',
    },
    

    These patterns form the foundation of modern, polished UI design.
