Metronic 9.2 Release
A New Era with KtUI, ReUI, and Tailwind 4, React 19, Next.js 15!
We’re thrilled to announce the most anticipated Metronic update ever! This giant shift forward brings transformative changes for a faster, community-driven future.
A Revamped Codebase for Speed and Scalability
With full Tailwind CSS 4 integration, we’ve reshaped Metronic’s codebase for smoother, quicker updates. Our optimized development flow means faster feature rollouts. While some breaking changes are introduced, they’re essential to keep Metronic cutting-edge.
Introducing KtUI and ReUI: Open Source Powerhouses
This update introduces two open source UI libraries: KtUI for vanilla JavaScript and ReUI for React. Sharing a unified design system, they ensure Metronic’s consistent, sleek look across both platforms.
KtUI: Tailwind-Powered Components for HTML
KtUI, our Tailwind CSS-based open source library, powers Metronic’s HTML version, enabling community-driven growth. Its high-quality components and JavaScript functionality simplify building dynamic interfaces.
- New Naming Convention: KtUI classes use
kt-prefixes for clarity and to differentiate from Tailwind’s built-in classes.
- Data Attributes:
data-kt-attributes enable lazy JavaScript initialization with minimal code. - Theme System: Inspired by Shadcn, KtUI’s CSS variable-based theming aligns with Tailwind 4 workflows.
ReUI: Accessible React Components with Radix UI
ReUI brings Metronic’s design system to React, using Radix UI primitives for accessible, Tailwind-tailored components. Perfect for React or Next.js apps, ReUI ensures a polished, cohesive experience alongside KtUI.
Why Vanilla JS and React?
We’ve prioritized vanilla JavaScript and React to align with development trends and AI tooling advancements. Supporting all frameworks (like Vue or Angular) is resource-intensive, so we’re focusing on maximum user value. Vue and Angular devs can still use Metronic’s HTML/JS features via our SPA integration guides in Metronic’s documentation.
Breaking Changes, Bigger Promises
This is Metronic’s biggest shift since launch. Built on KtUI, ReUI, and Tailwind 4, it’s now more scalable and community-focused. Breaking changes require adjustments, but they pave the way for a dynamic platform.
What’s Next?
We’re just getting started. Here’s what’s coming:
- Faster Updates: More frequent releases for HTML, React, and Next.js with advanced components.
- Select and Datepicker Components: Core functionality is ready, with styled releases due soon.
- Community Growth: Support KtUI and ReUI by starring KtUI on GitHub and ReUI on GitHub, sharing, and contributing.

Huge congrats on the 9.2 release — this is a major leap forward! The shift to Tailwind 4, the addition of KtUI and ReUI, and the focus on performance and community-driven development is exactly what modern UI frameworks need. I really appreciate the clear direction with vanilla JS and React — smart move focusing on where most of the developer energy is. Excited to dig into the new components and watch this ecosystem grow!
This update is a huge leap forward — loving the integration of Tailwind 4 and the open-source direction with KtUI and ReUI!

I’ve noticed a bug in the Demo 2 template provided in your Tailwind HTML package. The topbar (header) in this layout does not behave as expected:
- It does not switch to dark mode when the theme is toggled.
- It does not shrink or become sticky when scrolling down the page, unlike in other demos.
I’ve attached a screenshot for reference.

Hi,
Thank you for reporting this issue. We will fix it in the next update asap.
In the meantime please just replace "bg-white/80" with "bg-background/80" in the header class condition.

Hi,
We are working on KtUI and Metronic blocks to enable more components and UI blocks. Currently if you browse https://keenthemes.com/metronic/tailwind/demo1/account/home/settings-sidebar you will be able to get most of UI blocks for forms, cruds and more.

Hello! First of all, keep up the good work!
I have a question regarding the styles.
I have downloaded the Metronic Nextjs package, which comes with a figma file as well.
My product designer has been implementing some designs following the Metronic design guidelines, but the styles in the basecode are not aligned.
I can find colors like 'primary', 'muted', 'destructive', etc. but those are not in the Figma file (here colors are 'primary', 'success', 'danger', 'info', etc.)
This means that we'd need to refactor every component style-wise.
Am I missing something? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
The KTUI colors are based on standard tailwind colors and you can customize it as per your requirements by overring badge components if required.
We will consider exposing those states as variables in the upcoming releases for easier customizations.
