# January 2026 - Inline Start and End Styles

**[The Foundation for your Design System - shadcn/ui](https://daily.dev/sources/shadcn-ui)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Shadcn's Base UI components now support inline-start and inline-end logical side values, replacing physical left/right positioning for components like Tooltip, Popover, Combobox, Context Menu, Dropdown Menu, Hover Card, Menubar, and Select. New Tailwind classes were added to handle these logical side values, and an LLM prompt is provided to help developers update their existing components to use the new styles.
