   v5 uses tailwind 4. Tailwind 4 is not 100% compatible with Tailwind 3. I haven't looked at the examples and compared it to the documentation, but I would be pretty confident that this is due to class names being different between the two versions of tailwind.

   Closing this as expected behavior. Nativewind v5 uses Tailwind CSS v4 under the hood, while v4 used Tailwind CSS v3. The visual differences you're seeing are from changes in Tailwind's defaults between those major versions (e.g. border color, ring width, shadow behavior). See the Tailwind v4 upgrade guide for class-level changes.
