@headlessui/tailwindcss 'ui-open' utility class inheritance inside Dialog about headlessui HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey!

The problem you are seeing is that the ui-open also applies because the Dialog also exposes that information. To solve this, you can explicitly mark the bg-white with ui-not-open:

- <Listbox.Button className="rounded-t-md rounded-b-md ui-open:rounded-b-none bg-white ui-open:bg-sky-300">
+ <Listbox.Button className="rounded-t-md rounded-b-md ui-open:rounded-b-none uit-not-open:bg-white ui-open:bg-sky-300">

It's a bit of an unfortunate situation, but this should solve your issue.
If this still won't work, then you can fallback to using JS based values using render props: https://headlessui.com/react/listbox#using-render-props

We are aware of this inconvenience, and to handle this in a more explicit and reliable way we made the following changes to the next versions of Headless UI and Tailwind CSS (both are currently in an alpha stage, but wanted to share this with you already):

• In Headless UI v2, we expose these values as data attributes directly, this means that you will be able to use data-[open]:… directly.
• In Tailwind CSS v4, data attributes will be available as data-open:… which is easier to type than data-[open]:….
• If you combine these with named group classes (https://tailwindcss.com/docs/hover-focus-and-other-states#differentiating-nested-groups) then you can add a named group to the listbox and handle it explicitly:

This means that eventually, you will be able to do something like this to explicitly target the correct data:

<Listbox as="div" className="group/my-listbox">
  <ListboxButton className="group-data-open/my-listbox:…" />
</Listbox>

But for now, explicitly adding ui-not-open:bg-white or using the render prop should do the trick.

Hope this helps!

@RobinMalfait truly, thank you for taking the time for such a comprehensive response! ui-not-open class indeed did the trick and the inputs within the dialog correctly get styled only when they are open. Appreciate the sneak peek to future features as well!

Would you perhaps have at hand any online codesandbox where @headlessui/tailwindcss plugin is working alongside @headlessui/react? It would be a hugely helpful asset to make online demos of HeadlessUI components for my team.
