Features

  • Always on top toggle — via ribbon icon or command
  • Translucency — opacity presets plus a fine-grained slider

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.
