Use

Utility Classes

Harness the power of utility classes to effortlessly apply conic gradients to your HTML elements or templates.

.conic-gradient

Apply the .conic-gradient class to an element to imbue it with a conic gradient background. By default, it utilizes a two-color conic gradient. However, you can effortlessly alter the number of colors using responsive classes.

<div class="conic-gradient"></div>
<div class="conic-gradient-2"></div>
<div class="conic-gradient-6"></div>

With modifiers

Angle modifiers

You cant use class with color from 1 to 6 by default conic-gradient-angle-{deg}

<h1 class="conic-gradient conic-gradient-angle-45 ">
    Hello, TailwindCSS
</h1>

Color modifiers

You cant use class with color from 1 to 6 by default conic-gradient-color-{count}-{color_value}

<h1 class="conic-gradient conic-gradient-color-1-indigo-500 conic-gradient-color-1-purple-500 ">
    Hello, TailwindCSS
</h1>

Position modifiers

You can move convex position by X and Y by using classes .conic-gradient-{position}-{value}

<h1 class="conic-gradient conic-gradient-x-10 conic-gradient-y-10">
    Hello, TailwindCSS
</h1>
