Tabs

tabs

A tab list that shows one panel at a time.

One token contract, every theme. Display components take color, radius, density and state styling from the --tx-* token contract — the same variables the theme strip below overrides — so a theme swap re-colors them without per-component fixes.

In your theme

This page renders in the site theme, enterprise-neutral. Every one of the 210 library themes re-colors every component through the --tx-* contract. The three below carry real token values from the library, rendered at build — no island, no extra requests.
