Ginnungagap

Rift (v2.0) — Theme for Obsidian

Die gähnende Leere zwischen Niflheims Eis und Muspelheims Glut.
The primordial chasm between Niflheim's ice and Muspelheim's fire.

Ginnungagap (Rift v2.0) is a major evolution of the Ginnungagap theme. Designed for cosmic horror, Nordic sci-fi, worldbuilding, and TTRPG campaigns (such as LANCER and Norse mythos), it transforms Obsidian into an active cosmological anomaly: the note itself is the Rift — an abyssal cosmic chasm where glacial frost from the north collides with the smoldering embers of the south.

Ginnungagap Rift Showcase

🌌 Dual Polarity Experience

  • Dark Mode — "Ginnungagap": Pitch-black void backdrop surrounded by deep-space starfields. Top headers and frost elements inherit glacial ice hues (#9cc4d8, #cfe0ea), while footer regions and selections burn with Muspelheim embers (#e14132, #ff733d).
  • Light Mode — "Niflheim": Frostbitten bone-white manuscript parchment with icy glacial borders, contrasting deep charcoal text, and stark blood-red accents.

⚙️ Style Settings Integration

Customizable in real-time via the Style Settings community plugin under Settings → Style Settings → Ginnungagap Rift:
