1.1.1

First public release of Liquid — a glass-aesthetic theme for Obsidian, inspired by macOS Tahoe Liquid Glass.

What you get

• Real glass. 48 surfaces use backdrop-filter with calibrated blur and saturate. Your wallpaper bleeds through every panel, modal, and toast.
• One-variable retheme. --bb-accent-h: 146 is the source of truth. Change it to any hue from 0 to 360 and every accent regenerates.
• Honest light mode. Not inverted dark — separately tuned tints, edges, shadows, and a syntax palette balanced for cream-tinted backgrounds.
• Crisp motion. Exponential ease-out at 120–200ms. No bounce, no spring.
• AA contrast on every accent. Buttons, tags, active rows, focus rings — all pass in both modes.
• System-respectful. Honors prefers-reduced-motion and prefers-reduced-transparency. Stays clear of macOS traffic lights.
• Fully tokenized. Every color, blur, radius, and motion curve is a CSS variable.

Install

1. Download theme.css and manifest.json below
2. Drop them into <your-vault>/.obsidian/themes/Liquid/
3. Obsidian → Settings → Appearance → Themes → select Liquid
4. Enable Translucent window (Settings → Appearance) for full glass effect

Compatibility

• Obsidian ≥ 1.4.0
• Best on Apple Silicon and dedicated GPUs (48 backdrop-filter surfaces)
• Mobile inherits colors but layout is desktop-tuned

Notes

• No external network requests — uses local-or-system fonts (Inter / JetBrains Mono first if installed, system fallbacks otherwise)
• Reduced-transparency falls back to solid panels; reduced-motion disables transitions
