Pin on Top

Keep the window on top of all other windows, with adjustable translucency.

Features

  • Always on top toggle — via ribbon icon or command
  • Translucency — opacity presets plus a fine-grained slider (50–100%)
  • Persistent state — remembers your settings between sessions
  • Hotkey support — assign keyboard shortcuts to the toggle commands

Usage

Action How
Toggle always-on-top Click the pin icon in the ribbon
Toggle via keyboard Settings → Hotkeys → search "Pin on Top"
Adjust opacity Settings → Pin on Top → drag the slider or pick a preset
Cycle presets Command palette: "Cycle opacity preset"

Opacity presets

Preset Value
Opaque 100%
Barely there 95%
Light 90%
Medium 80%
Heavy 70%

Development

npm install      # install dependencies
npm run dev      # watch + rebuild main.js on change
npm run build    # type-check and produce a production main.js

The plugin is written in TypeScript (main.ts) and bundled to main.js with esbuild.

Notes

  • Desktop only (macOS, Windows, Linux) — uses the Electron window APIs through @electron/remote.
  • Opacity affects the entire Obsidian window. Values above 85% are recommended for readability.
  • Window opacity is supported on macOS and Windows; on Linux it depends on the compositor.
  • Always-on-top and opacity reset to defaults when the plugin is disabled.
