I would like to use Tailwindcss instead of classic CSS. There is a way to change HTML markup and its classes?

Thanks.

We are not going to change the entire codebase to Tailwind to still have the same visual output. But there is no one stopping you from using Tailwind in the codebase in which you use Uppy 🙂

Thanks for the reply. Can you help me to understand if exist some way to change markup and its classes without doing a fork of the codebase?

This is an [XY problem](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem/66378#66378). Could you explain why you want to do that?

I want to change the traditional layout of Uppy, to achieve the UX/UI pretended.

Dropzone.js offer a possibility to manipulate the markup and CSS classes. I’m looking for some way to do the same with Uppy without breaking in future updates.

I’m afraid that’s not possible, if you want a different UI than Dashboard, you will have to fork the Dashboard. Or propose/ask what is missing specifically.
