Using utility variants

Learn how to override existing utilities based on the user's screen size or other factors, such as hover states.

Targeting different viewports

You can combine responsive breakpoints like sm:bg-*, md:bg-*, lg:bg-*, and xxl:bg-* to allow targeting specific utilities in different viewports.

Targeting hover states

Alternatively, you can apply :hover by using h:bg-* utility to override elements and change their values when hovering over them.

Targeting with opacity

You can also control the opacity of colors using opacity modifiers with bg-* syntax, where * represents the opacity value (e.g., bg-*/25, bg-*/50, bg-*/75, bg-*/100) to create semi-transparent versions of the base color.
