A long time ago, I researched this and found that 4.2 is what you would want as a minimum for trying to release commercial software A safer route which I think I would do if I was running a company would be 4.3 the third version So I just looked it up and they’re on 4.2 right now if 4.3 comes out and it looks good and there aren’t any major changes then I would look to elements but then you would also have to give them development time of months So realistically with tailwind, I wouldn’t be expecting anything for a long time… In my personal opinion ---

Oh course, new gradient support is also a must! Just imagine if we’d been working on Tailwind 4 support and AI at the same time, now wouldn’t that be something… ---

Light-Dark switch. Will the new build engine in Tailwind 4 translate to better performance in Elements? Might be a totally different method in native Elements though. ---

> [@Flash](#): > > Light-Dark switch. That is not to do with Tailwind 4, it’s more to do with how we compile Tailwind for dark mode at export time. It’s on our list, but it’s not urgent as we believe the right way is to let the system handle dark and light mode as set by the users preference. > [@Flash](#): > > Will the new build engine in Tailwind 4 translate to better performance in Elements? Yes, it’s quite possible, you’ll have to give it a test when we ship! ---

I would love to see Theme Studio and Typography support for variable width fonts. Tailwind 4 adds support for font-stretch-xxxx classes to handle this. This would allow for handling an entire site with one variable self-hosted font. ---
