@copilot Looking at this element

<a href="https://example.com" class="  relative rounded-lg border border-gray-300 w-full h-full overflow-hidden
     flex flex-col gap-3 md:gap-5
 group justify-between p-6 overflow-hidden bg-gray-200 hover:bg-gray-700">

   ...

</a>

I see that bg-gray-X are missing. They miss also in other elements, so something with the config is off

@amitaibu
Fix Tailwind 4 theme config to include all default utilities
a63587d 
The previous @theme configuration was overriding default colors and breakpoints.
In Tailwind 4, @theme should only define extensions, not replacements.

Removed custom breakpoint and font-family definitions from @theme block,
keeping only the actual custom extensions (max-width-8xl and text-underline-offset-6).

This ensures all default Tailwind utilities like bg-gray-50, bg-gray-200, etc.
are generated in the compiled CSS.

Fixes missing background color utilities reported in review.

Fixed in a63587d. The issue was that the @theme configuration was overriding default Tailwind colors and breakpoints instead of extending them. In Tailwind 4, @theme should only define custom extensions, not replace defaults.

Removed the font-family and breakpoint definitions from @theme, keeping only the actual custom properties (max-width-8xl and text-underline-offset-6). All default color utilities including bg-gray-50 and bg-gray-200 are now generated correctly.

@copilot I'm seeing the background colors defined, but they are struck out

The issue is that normalize overrides it
