Glacial-Bloom

Changelog

[1.0.0] — 2026-09-05

Added

• Initial release of Glacial Bloom — a recolour of Minimal v9.0.2 for Obsidian.
• Deep glacial blue-black backgrounds (#0a1218, #13202b, #1c2e3d) for dark mode — reduces OLED eye strain vs. pure black.
• Ice-white text (#e0f2fe) for softer contrast vs. pure black-on-white.
• Crystalline cyan accent (#22d3ee) for links and interactive elements.
• Signature warm red bloom (#dc2626 at 35% opacity) for text highlights — the palette's namesake.
• Glacial Mist light variant — pale icy backgrounds with deep blue-black text, darker cyan accent for contrast on bright surfaces. Warm red bloom preserved.
• Extended palette harmonised with the glacial aesthetic (frosted emerald, icy lavender, dusty rose, etc.).
• Explicit scheme classes .minimal-glacial-bloom-dark and .minimal-glacial-bloom-light for parity with Minimal's other named schemes.
• Demo vault showcasing headings, callouts, tables, code blocks, task lists, and Dataview examples.
• Real Obsidian screenshots for light/dark editor and reading modes.

Inherited from Minimal v9.0.2

• Full feature set: focus mode, cards, image grid, table helpers, tab styles, callouts, embeds, heading dividers, tag styles.
• Plugin compatibility: Calendar, Charts, Dataview, Git, Kanban, Style Settings, Zoom, and more.
• Complete Style Settings YAML surface for granular customization.
• 14 preset color schemes (Dracula, Gruvbox, Nord, Solarized, Catppuccin, etc.) remain selectable.
