Introducing component styles for shadcn/ui—the same styles available in the Shadcn UI Create page. This gives you control over the visual appearance of every component in your project.

Available Styles

  • Vega (New York) — The classic shadcn/ui look. Clean, neutral, and familiar.
  • Nova — Reduced padding and margins for compact layouts.
  • Maia — Soft and rounded, with generous spacing.
  • Lyra — Boxy and sharp. Pairs well with mono fonts.
  • Mira — Compact. Made for dense interfaces.

Preview in the Explorer

The Explorer now includes a Component Style selector in the sidebar. Switch between styles instantly to see how any block looks with different visual treatments.

How It Works

Styles are configured in your components.json:

{
  "style": "radix-maia"
}

The format is {library}-{style}, combining your UI library choice (Radix or Base) with your visual style preference.

All Combinations

  • radix-vega, radix-nova, radix-maia, radix-lyra, radix-mira
  • base-vega, base-nova, base-maia, base-lyra, base-mira

When you install blocks via the CLI, they automatically use your configured style.
