Radiance

I like Raycast's calm, keyboard-first feel. Radiance brings that part of it to Obsidian without trying to turn the app into a clone: layered surfaces, compact controls, a coral accent, and a command palette that feels like it belongs.

Unofficial theme. Radiance is inspired by Raycast, but is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Raycast.

What changed

• Separate light and dark palettes, not a simple inversion
• A focused command palette with quiet selection states and readable shortcuts
• Compact tabs, sidebars, menus, settings, metadata, tags, callouts, tables, graph view, and Canvas
• Alternative task-state markers for in-progress ([/]), cancelled ([-]), questions ([?]), and other custom states
• Native macOS system fonts with a sensible monospace fallback
• No remote fonts or assets
