Pseudo Mica

Pseudo Mica brings native window translucency effects to Obsidian.

Usage

  • Click the layers icon in the ribbon, or
  • Open the command palette and run Pseudo Mica: Open settings.

Installation

From the Obsidian Community Plugins browser:

  1. Open Settings → Community plugins and disable Safe Mode if prompted.
  2. Click Browse and search for Pseudo Mica.
  3. Click Install, then Enable.

Manual installation:

  1. Download main.js and manifest.json from the latest release.
  2. Copy them into your vault at .obsidian/plugins/pseudo-mica/.
  3. Reload Obsidian and enable the plugin under Settings → Community plugins.

How It Works

Pseudo Mica uses Electron's native window APIs to apply OS-native translucency effects.

Windows

Calls setBackgroundMaterial() with your choice of Mica, Mica Alt, or Acrylic, and adds is-translucent class to body, mirroring Obsidian's behavior when Translucent window option is enabled on macOS.

Requires Settings → Apperance → Window frame style → Hidden / Obsidian frame.

macOS

Calls setVibrancy() with one of the supported vibrancy types (e.g. sidebar, window, under-window).

Requires Settings → Apperance → Translucent window.

License

This plugin was built entirely with GitHub Copilot, powered by Claude Sonnet 3.7 and Claude Sonnet 4.6.
