Text Shadows (with Color!)Text shadows bring another layer of depth, especially on headings and banners.💡 Example: Spooky Red Glow You can go from text-shadow-2xs to text-shadow-lg, and add color variants like text-shadow-blue-400.🖼️ 3. Mask Utilities for ImagesYou can now mask images or elements using directional gradients.💡 Example:This creates a soft fade from bottom to top or vice versa. You can tweak directions with classes like mask-top, mask-left, mask-right.⚠️ Mask gradients might look different in dark mode.⚙️ 4. Seamless Dark ModeTailwind 4.1 improves dark mode handling—just use the dark: prefix, no extra configuration needed.💡 Example: Dark Mode Ready ✅ Other Notable Improvements* Text wrapping control via overflow-wrap* Improved browser compatibility* Less need for configuration files* CSS @import now works for simpler integrations📹 Video Description (for YouTube)Tailwind CSS 4.1 is packed with awesome new features—from colored drop shadows and text shadows to masking utilities and dark mode improvements.
