Hi sir, Installing this UI library increases the project/ application size?
If so is this to be concerned sir?

[@hamedbahram]

This is not a UI library to install, you can copy paste only the components you're using. With or without this you're going to need to write your components.

[@emmanuelmantilla1465]

Hello, just want to add something if you add more themes then tailwind will have problems to know which are dark and which don't, imagine you add 'darkgreen', then TW will treat it as a regular theme, that would be troublesome because if you use (dark:text-white) then that will only be applied to the default dark theme not to the 'darkgreen', in order to tell TW about it you need to specify it in the config file.
if someone needs to know the code to let tailwind know to which colors apply dark mode just let me know.

[@hamedbahram]

Wouldn't it be easier with css variables?

[@dolapoajayi2156]

Nice video man❤..but what if I wanna use a custom orange shade and not Shadcn orange shade?any idea??

[@hamedbahram]

Thank you! you can change the css variable values to whatever color you wish.

[@dolapoajayi2156]

@@hamedbahram yeah I know I can change it but I don’t wanna mess things up that’s why I needed to be sure how to do it..any tips please🙏..I wished you covered that in your video or just guide me🙏🙏

[@hamedbahram]

@@dolapoajayi2156 go to the `globals.css` where we have the css variables and change the value to your colors. shadcn uses hsl colors, so you can just replace the values:
```
--foreground: 50 80% 40%;
```

I've been trying to create another plugging (next to dark/light plugging) which gonna change the color theme, but I haven't succeed so far. I can only have one color more than dark/light. Any ideas?

[@hamedbahram]

You have to separate the theming from the light/dark mode.

[@raymondmichael4987]

How to enable both light and dark mode on a particular color, like orange in dark and light mode. ❤😊😊

[@hamedbahram]

You can have next-themes control the light and dark and create another theme toggle for the other colors. Then in your CSS you'd have light and dark class for every other theme. Does that make sense?

[@d4rzk252]

@@hamedbahramSo I will just do .orange.dark {...}, .orange.light {...} in css?

[@raymondmichael4987]

For light

[@MichaelHofweller]

The theme provider adds the dark or light class that then throws this error: Prop `className` did not match. Server: "__className_3a0388 dark" Client: "__className_3a0388" Any help with a fix?
