Input background color does not work

For testing purposes, I want my input fields to be red. I created an app.config.ts: 
console.log("app.config.ts");
export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    strategy: 'override',
    input: {
      placeholder: 'placeholder-red-400',
      wrapper: "relative",
      base: "relative bg-red block w-full custom-base focus:outline-none border-0 bg-red",
      default: {
        size: "md", // change default size
        color: "blue", // change default color
        variant: "outline",
        
      },
      color: {
        white: {
          outline: 'shadow-sm bg-red dark:bg-white text-gray-900 dark:text-white ring-1 ring-inset ring-gray-300 dark:ring-gray-700 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-primary-500 dark:focus:ring-primary-400'
        },
        gray: {
          outline: 'shadow-sm bg-red dark:bg-white text-gray-900 dark:text-white ring-1 ring-inset ring-gray-300 dark:ring-gray-700 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-primary-500 dark:focus:ring-primary-400'
        }
      },
      variant: {
        outline: 'shadow-sm bg-red text-gray-900 ring-1 ring-inset ring-{color}-500 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-{color}-500',
        none: 'bg-red focus:ring-0 focus:shadow-none'
      },
    },
  },
});
console.log("app.config.ts");
export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    strategy: 'override',
    input: {
      placeholder: 'placeholder-red-400',
      wrapper: "relative",
      base: "relative bg-red block w-full custom-base focus:outline-none border-0 bg-red",
      default: {
        size: "md", // change default size
        color: "blue", // change default color
        variant: "outline",
        
      },
      color: {
        white: {
          outline: 'shadow-sm bg-red dark:bg-white text-gray-900 dark:text-white ring-1 ring-inset ring-gray-300 dark:ring-gray-700 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-primary-500 dark:focus:ring-primary-400'
        },
        gray: {
          outline: 'shadow-sm bg-red dark:bg-white text-gray-900 dark:text-white ring-1 ring-inset ring-gray-300 dark:ring-gray-700 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-primary-500 dark:focus:ring-primary-400'
        }
      },
      variant: {
        outline: 'shadow-sm bg-red text-gray-900 ring-1 ring-inset ring-{color}-500 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-{color}-500',
        none: 'bg-red focus:ring-0 focus:shadow-none'
      },
    },
  },
});
But for some reason, my background color refuses to change:

Hi @Kyllian. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insights into why your input background color might not be changing as expected. The issue likely stems from how Nuxt UI handles component styling and color overrides. Here are a few points to consider: 1. Color Handling: Nuxt UI uses a system of CSS variables for dynamic colors that can be changed at runtime. The primary and gray colors are specially handled. As mentioned in the Theming documentation, you should define colors in your app.config.ts like this: 
   export default defineAppConfig({
     ui: {
       primary: 'red',
       gray: 'slate'
     }
   })
   
   export default defineAppConfig({
     ui: {
       primary: 'red',
       gray: 'slate'
     }
   })
2. Component Configuration: The Input component configuration shows that the background color is typically set in the color object, not directly in the base class. Your attempt to set bg-red in the base class might be overridden by more specific styles. 3. Variant Handling: The input component uses variants like 'outline' and 'none'. These variants have their own background color settings which might be overriding your custom settings. 4. CSS Variable Usage: Nuxt UI often uses CSS variables for colors, which allows for dynamic color changes. Your direct use of Tailwind classes like bg-red might not integrate well with this system. To potentially resolve this issue: 1. Try setting the primary color to red in the top-level ui configuration: 
   export default defineAppConfig({
     ui: {
       primary: 'red',
       input: {
         // your other input configurations
       }
     }
   })
   
   export default defineAppConfig({
     ui: {
       primary: 'red',
       input: {
         // your other input configurations
       }
     }
   })
2. In the input configuration, use the {color} placeholder instead of direct color names: 
   variant: {
     outline: 'shadow-sm bg-{color}-500 text-white dark:text-gray-900 ring-1 ring-inset ring-{color}-500 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-{color}-500',
     none: 'bg-{color}-500 focus:ring-0 focus:shadow-none'
   }
   
   variant: {
     outline: 'shadow-sm bg-{color}-500 text-white dark:text-gray-900 ring-1 ring-inset ring-{color}-500 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-{color}-500',
     none: 'bg-{color}-500 focus:ring-0 focus:shadow-none'
   }
3. If you specifically want a red background regardless of the primary color, you might need to use more specific selectors or consider using a plugin to extend Nuxt UI's functionality. If these suggestions don't work, the issue might be more complex and related to how Nuxt UI processes and applies styles. In that case, you might need to consult the Nuxt UI documentation more thoroughly or reach out to the Nuxt community for more specific assistance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai this does not work, i simply want a specific background color based on the nuxt ui props it exposes.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize for the confusion in my previous answer. Let's focus on using the props that Nuxt UI exposes for the Input component to change the background color. Based on the Input component documentation, you can use the color and variant props to change the visual style of the Input, including the background color. Here's how you can do it: 1. First, make sure you have defined the color you want to use in your tailwind.config.ts file if it's not a standard Tailwind color. 2. Then, in your template, you can use the color prop to set the background color. For example: 
<template>
  <UInput color="red" variant="outline" placeholder="Search..." />
</template>
<template>
  <UInput color="red" variant="outline" placeholder="Search..." />
</template>
This should apply a red background to your input field. If you want more control over the specific shade of red or other styles, you can override the default styles in your app.config.ts: 
export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    input: {
      color: {
        red: {
          outline: 'shadow-sm bg-red-500 text-white dark:text-gray-900 ring-1 ring-inset ring-red-500 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-red-500'
        }
      }
    }
  }
})
export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    input: {
      color: {
        red: {
          outline: 'shadow-sm bg-red-500 text-white dark:text-gray-900 ring-1 ring-inset ring-red-500 focus:ring-2 focus:ring-red-500'
        }
      }
    }
  }
})
Then in your template: 
<template>
  <UInput color="red" variant="outline" placeholder="Search..." />
</template>
<template>
  <UInput color="red" variant="outline" placeholder="Search..." />
</template>
This approach uses the props exposed by Nuxt UI and should change the background color of your input to red. If this still doesn't work as expected, there might be other styles overriding these settings, or there could be an issue with how your Nuxt UI is set up. In that case, you might need to inspect the rendered HTML and CSS using your browser's developer tools to see what styles are being applied and why your desired background color isn't showing up. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai the background-color property is simply not being overwritten.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand your frustration with the background color not being overwritten. Based on the knowledge sources provided and our previous conversation, it seems that the issue might be related to how Nuxt UI applies styles and handles overrides. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide specific information about why the background-color property isn't being overwritten in this case. Without more detailed information about your setup and the exact behavior you're seeing, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. However, I can suggest a few troubleshooting steps: 1. Inspect the element using your browser's developer tools to see what styles are being applied and in what order. This can help you understand if there are any conflicting styles or if the background-color is being set by a more specific selector. 2. Try using the !important flag as a temporary measure to see if it overrides the background color: 
   export default defineAppConfig({
     ui: {
       input: {
         base: 'relative block w-full disabled:cursor-not-allowed disabled:opacity-75 focus:outline-none border-0 bg-red-500 !important',
         // other configurations...
       }
     }
   })
   
   export default defineAppConfig({
     ui: {
       input: {
         base: 'relative block w-full disabled:cursor-not-allowed disabled:opacity-75 focus:outline-none border-0 bg-red-500 !important',
         // other configurations...
       }
     }
   })
Note that using !important is generally not recommended as a long-term solution, but it can help identify if there's a specificity issue. 3. If you're using a custom color, ensure it's properly defined in your Tailwind configuration. 4. Consider reaching out to the Nuxt UI maintainers or community forums with a minimal reproducible example of your issue. They might be able to provide more specific guidance based on the exact version of Nuxt UI you're using and your particular setup. If none of these suggestions help, and the background-color property is still not being overwritten, there might be a deeper issue with how styles are being applied in your specific Nuxt UI setup. In that case, you might need to seek more personalized support from the Nuxt community or consider alternative styling approaches. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
