Border utilities like `.border-*` that generated from our original `$theme-colors` Sass map don't yet respond to color modes, however, any `.border-*-subtle` utility will. This will be resolved in v6.

## Opacity

Bootstrap `border-{color}` utilities are generated with Sass using CSS variables. This allows for real-time color changes without compilation and dynamic alpha transparency changes.
### How it works
Consider our default `.border-success` utility.
```css
.border-success {
--bs-border-opacity: 1;
border-color: rgba(var(--bs-success-rgb), var(--bs-border-opacity)) !important;
}
```
We use an RGB version of our `--bs-success` (with the value of `25, 135, 84` ) CSS variable and attached a second CSS variable, `--bs-border-opacity` , for the alpha transparency (with a default value `1` thanks to a local CSS variable). That means anytime you use `.border-success` now, your computed `color` value is `rgba(25, 135, 84, 1)` . The local CSS variable inside each `.border-*` class avoids inheritance issues so nested instances of the utilities don't automatically have a modified alpha transparency.
### Example
To change that opacity, override `--bs-border-opacity` via custom styles or inline styles.
{{< example > }}
< div class = "border border-success p-2 mb-2" > This is default success border< / div >
< div class = "border border-success p-2" style = "--bs-border-opacity: .5;" > This is 50% opacity success border< / div >
{{< / example > }}
Or, choose from any of the `.border-opacity` utilities:
{{< example > }}
< div class = "border border-success p-2 mb-2" > This is default success border< / div >
< div class = "border border-success p-2 mb-2 border-opacity-75" > This is 75% opacity success border< / div >
< div class = "border border-success p-2 mb-2 border-opacity-50" > This is 50% opacity success border< / div >
< div class = "border border-success p-2 mb-2 border-opacity-25" > This is 25% opacity success border< / div >
< div class = "border border-success p-2 border-opacity-10" > This is 10% opacity success border< / div >
{{< / example > }}

Use the scaling classes for larger or smaller rounded corners. Sizes range from `0` to `5` , and can be configured by modifying the utilities API.
