GithubGlass Shelf (Theme)
English · 한국어
A translucent, glassy theme for Obsidian.
Requires the Glass Shelf Companion plugin. This theme is built to be used together with the Glass Shelf Companion plugin. Install and enable both to get the intended look.
Theme only vs. with the plugin
The screenshots above show the theme together with the Companion plugin. With the theme alone, the glass looks the same, but the button layout, refraction and animations are not there.
| Theme only | With the Companion plugin |

Features
- Glassmorphism: panels, menus and popups rendered as blurred glass
- Pill-shaped buttons and rounded corners with smoothly changing curvature (Chromium 139 or later)
- Built-in font based on Wanted Sans (no separate install needed)
- Folder and file icons
Companion plugin
The Glass Shelf Companion plugin handles button layout, refraction, animation and fine-grained settings. The theme draws the glass; the plugin handles layout and motion.
Supported platforms
- Built mainly for desktop (Windows) and Android.
- On iPhone and iPad, refraction does not work, so only blur is applied.
- macOS has not been tested thoroughly, so some details may look off.
- The smooth corner curvature is visible on Chromium 139 or later.
Installation
- In Settings → Appearance → Themes → Manage, search for Glass Shelf, then install and enable it.
- Install and enable the Glass Shelf Companion plugin in Settings → Community plugins.
