Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like caret-pink-500 and caret-lime-600 to change the color of the text input cursor:

<textarea class="w-80 caret-pink-500 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</textarea>

Using a custom value

Use the caret-[<value>] syntax to set the caret color based on a completely custom value:

<textarea class="caret-[#50d71e] ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</textarea>

For CSS variables, you can also use the caret-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<textarea class="caret-(--my-caret-color) ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</textarea>

This is just a shorthand for caret-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix a caret-color utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<textarea class="caret-rose-500 md:caret-lime-600 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</textarea>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.

Customizing your theme

Use the --color-* theme variables to customize the color utilities in your project:

@theme {
  --color-regal-blue: #243c5a;
}

Now the caret-regal-blue utility can be used in your markup:

<textarea class="caret-regal-blue">
  <!-- ... -->
</textarea>
