Thanks.
How do you change the theme in Shadcn?
Because it looks like the colors are hardcoded even after setting "cssVariables": true in components.json according to docs, I couldn't see the CSS variables.

As I am using dasyui theme . I choose no css variable when initializing shadcn .

[saadeghi]

I understand. daisyUI components use CSS variables for colors so all colors can change on run time only by changing a CSS variable.

Shadcn without "cssVariables" config only sets dark: prefix to the colors for dark mode (when OS/browser is set to dark mode) and the colors can't be changed dynamically. The cssVariables config, as mentioned in Shadcn docs uses CSS variables for colors so it can dynamically change the colors on runtime using CSS variables.
The problem is, when I set "cssVariables": true in components.json according to docs, I don't see a difference. I'm not sure if there's a problem in config or the package…

Maybe you can ask about it in Shadcn repo?

thanks for your respond , i think i found the solution by making this changes sarowarhosen03/nextjs-blog@2422cc5 , here i'm again init shadcn/ui with select css variable true , and make some changes

yo guys, im having the same problem, i just added shadcn ui with daisy ui, and ma daisy ui style disapeared, when i installed shadcn they removed my previous tailwind config with daisy ? how do i do ?
tailwid.confing.js :
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} /
module.exports = {
content: [
'./pages/**/.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
'./components//*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
'./app//*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
],
theme: {
extend: {
fontFamily: {
title: ['Tsukimi Rounded', 'sans-serif'],
subtitle: ['MuseoModerno', 'sans-serif'],
body: ['Inter', 'sans-serif'],
},
colors: {
'primary-color': '#0E3768',
'secondary-color': '#4C87CD',
'common-text': '#FFFFFF',
}
},
},
plugins: [require("daisyui")],
daisyui: {
themes: ["winter", 'valentine', 'aqua'],
utils: true,
logs: false,
},
}

This is how I end up with it. Not yet sure if everything from shadcn will look correctly, but at least DaisyUI won't break.

tailwind.config.ts

import daisyui, { type Config as DaisyUIConfig } from "daisyui";
import { type Config } from "tailwindcss";

type DaisyuiThemeExtend = {
  borderRadius: {
    badge: string;
    btn: string;
    box: string;
  };
  colors: {
    "base-100": string;
    "base-200": string;
    "base-300": string;
    "base-content": string;
    primary: string;
    "primary-content": string;
    secondary: string;
    "secondary-content": string;
    accent: string;

    "neutral-content": string;
    info: string;
    "info-content": string;
    success: string;
    "success-content": string;
    warning: string;
    "warning-content": string;
    error: string;
    "error-content": string;
  };
};
const daisyuiThemeExtend = daisyui.config!.theme!.extend as DaisyuiThemeExtend;

const shadcnThemeExtend = {
  borderRadius: {
    lg: daisyuiThemeExtend.borderRadius.badge,
    md: daisyuiThemeExtend.borderRadius.btn,
    sm: daisyuiThemeExtend.borderRadius.box,
  },

    },
    border: daisyuiThemeExtend.colors["base-300"],
    input: daisyuiThemeExtend.colors["base-300"],
    ring: daisyuiThemeExtend.colors.primary,
    chart: {

      "4": "hsl(var(--chart-4))",
      "5": "hsl(var(--chart-5))",
    },
  },
};

I resolved this issue after removing components.json and installing shadcn again using npx shadcn@latest init
