To set up Tailwind v4 theming with shadcn/ui, define root CSS variables, map them using @theme inline, apply base styles, and integrate a ThemeProvider for dark mode. This provides a consistent, repeatable theming pattern with minimal boilerplate.

The @theme inline directive in Tailwind v4 is used to map root-level CSS variables into Tailwind's theme configuration. It ensures that your shadcn/ui components reference dynamic CSS variables for colors, enabling seamless dark mode transitions.

Yes, this theming approach works with modern frontend setups like Vite and React. It provides ready-to-use assets including a Vite configuration, an index.css file, and a theme-provider to bootstrap your themed project quickly.

You implement dark mode by defining color variables in a :root block, applying alternative values for dark mode, and wrapping your application in a ThemeProvider. This setup persists user preference across sessions via a mode toggle.

The best way to reduce boilerplate is using a four-step pattern that delivers ready-to-use assets like index.css, theme-provider, and configuration files. This scaffolding establishes consistent theming across components and pages instantly.
