Glow

A dark theme for Obsidian: deep charcoal surfaces, a soft radial light behind your notes, and a periwinkle-to-violet accent. Quiet borders, rounded panels, nothing shouting.

Made to pair with Thoughtbin, but it stands on its own. A matching light mode is included.

Features

• Dark and light modes built from the same palette
• Accent set through Obsidian's accent variables, so plugins and core UI pick it up automatically
• Gradient note titles, pill tags, accent-tinted blockquotes and callouts, rounded modals and menus
• Subtle glow behind the editor (dark mode only)
• Full syntax colour set for code blocks
• Mobile-aware toolbars and navigation
• Uses Geist and Geist Mono if installed, with clean system fallbacks

Install

From the community list — Settings → Appearance → Themes → Manage → search "Glow".

Manually

1. Download theme.css and manifest.json from the latest release.
2. Put them in <your vault>/.obsidian/themes/Glow/.
3. Settings → Appearance → Themes → Glow.

Fonts

Glow references Geist for interface and text and Geist Mono for code. They're optional; without them it falls back to Inter / your system font.

Issues and pull requests are welcome. There's no build step — edit theme.css, reload Obsidian. Please keep changes to Obsidian's CSS variables where one exists, and test both dark and light modes.
