VSCode 2026 — Obsidian Theme

A faithful port of Microsoft Visual Studio 2026's Fluent visual language to Obsidian, with first-class macOS vibrancy support.

Features

  • Light & Dark mode — both first-class, follows system color scheme
  • VS 2026 Fluent UI tokens — #005FB8 / #2F72C4 accent, #F6F8FC / #DDE7FF Light surfaces, #1F1F1F / #181818 Dark surfaces
  • Complete VSCode Dark+ / Light+ syntax highlighting — keyword / string / comment / function / variable / type / number / control / regex, double-mapped for both CodeMirror 6 (editor) and Prism.js (reading view)
  • macOS Tahoe-style polish — SF Pro / SF Mono system font stack, 8–12 px rounded corners, defocused-window dim, prefers-reduced-motion support
  • Vibrancy / translucency — sidebar, status bar, command palette and modals get backdrop-filter blur when Translucent window is enabled
  • Overlay scrollbars — hidden by default, fade in on hover, macOS-style
  • All third-party UI themed via CSS variables — callouts (13 types), graph view, canvas, calendar, dataview — no hardcoded colors

Recommended Settings (macOS)

  • Settings → Appearance → enable Translucent window to activate vibrancy.

Customization

Every color is a CSS variable. Override in a snippet:

/* .obsidian/snippets/my-tweaks.css */
.theme-dark {
  --interactive-accent: #4EC9B0;       /* swap accent to teal */
  --code-keyword:       #C586C0;       /* purple keywords */
}
.theme-light {
  --background-primary: #FAFBFD;
}

Common variables to tweak:

Variable Purpose
--interactive-accent Primary accent color (links, active tab top border, status bar)
--background-primary / --background-secondary Editor and sidebar backgrounds
--code-{keyword,string,comment,function,variable,type,number,control} Syntax highlight tokens
--callout-{note,tip,info,success,question,warning,failure,error,bug,example,quote,abstract,todo} Callout colors (RGB triplets)
--radius-{s,m,l,xl} Corner radii (default: 6 / 8 / 12 / 16 px)
--vibrancy-blur / --vibrancy-saturation macOS vibrancy strength
