Glassive
A calm, glassy theme for Obsidian — soft layered surfaces, quieter sidebars and smooth tab transitions.
- Overview
- Scorecard
- Updates4
A theme for Obsidian that blends macOS Liquid Glass with classic macOS design: restrained texture, subtle highlights, and nothing more than it needs.
Features
- Hand-tuned motion: animated split panes, popovers, menus, and modals.
- Redesigned tab bar and sidebars: a cleaner, quieter layout.
- Progressive blur: applied when the window gets small, so cramped layouts stay calm.
- Custom palettes: separate color sets tuned for light and dark mode.
Compatibility
- Tested on macOS only. I don't have Windows or Linux devices, so the theme hasn't been tested there.
- Not designed for mobile devices yet.
Plugin support
Styled for the core Bases, Canvas, and File Recovery plugins, plus QuickAdd, Commander, Iconic, Modal Form, PDF++, Better Export PDF, and Another Callout Suggestions.
