Describe your issue

After installing via CLI, I tried to add @theme to style.css and got an error.

It's a warning from VSCode's in-built CSS parser/validator in that it does not recognize the @theme at rule, since it is indeed not a CSS feature but specific to Tailwind. Nothing to worry about and it should not directly impact using Tailwind.

You can fix this by changing the Language Mode to Tailwind CSS if you use the Tailwind CSS IntelliSense VS Code extension.
