GlintGrid is a custom CSS style for Super gallery database cards.
It turns a Notion gallery database into an image-based grid with a smooth hover effect. On hover, the card lifts slightly, the image changes, and a diagonal light sweep moves across the card.

Recommended Notion setup
Before adding the CSS, prepare your Notion database like this:
- Use a Gallery database view.
- Set the card size to Large.
- Use a page cover or image as the card preview.
- Keep the page title short.
- Show only the properties you want to appear on the card. This design works best with 2 visible properties only: Title and Description.
- Hide extra properties that are not needed.
This style is designed for .notion-collection-gallery.large, so it works best with large gallery cards, and a full-width Notion page.
Installation instructions
- Open your site in the Super Dashboard.
- Go to Code.
- Open the Head tab.
- Paste the GlintGrid stylesheet.
- Save your changes.
- Open your live Super site and refresh the page.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://sites.super.so/gallery-cards/GlintGrid.css">Optional customization
You can customize the design by editing the values inside the top part of the CSS.
Most of the main design settings are inside this section:
.notion-collection-gallery.large {
--gallery-columns-desktop: 3;
--gallery-columns-tablet: 2;
--gallery-columns-mobile: 1;
--gallery-card-height: 330px;
--gallery-card-radius: 0;
--gallery-card-bg: #151a21;
--gallery-text: #ffffff;
--gallery-text-soft: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.88);
--gallery-overlay: rgba(10, 14, 20, 0.26);
--gallery-overlay-hover: rgba(10, 14, 20, 0.02);
--gallery-image-width: 155%;
--gallery-image-start-position: 35% center;
--gallery-image-end-position: 68% center;
--gallery-image-start-transform: translateX(-120px) scale(1.04);
--gallery-image-end-transform: translateX(0) scale(1.12);
display: grid !important;
grid-template-columns: repeat(var(--gallery-columns-desktop), minmax(0, 1fr)) !important;
gap: 28px !important;
}
@media (max-width: 1024px) {
.notion-collection-gallery.large {
grid-template-columns: repeat(var(--gallery-columns-tablet), minmax(0, 1fr)) !important;
}
}
@media (max-width: 640px) {
.notion-collection-gallery.large {
grid-template-columns: repeat(var(--gallery-columns-mobile), minmax(0, 1fr)) !important;
}
}Example
Use these values to change the border radius.
.notion-collection-gallery.large {
--gallery-card-radius: 24px;
}
.notion-collection-gallery.large .notion-collection-card,
.notion-collection-gallery.large .notion-collection-card__cover {
border-radius: var(--gallery-card-radius) !important;
}Notes and limitations
- It only changes the visual style of the gallery cards. It does not change how the Notion database works.
- The CSS is designed for large Super gallery database cards using this selector:
- If the database is not using a large gallery view, the design may not apply as expected.
- Very long titles may wrap into several lines. For the best design, use short and clear page titles.
- Visible properties appear as supporting text on the card. If too many properties are visible, the card may look crowded or the properties will not appear.
- Hover effects may behave differently on mobile and tablet devices because touch screens do not have the same hover behavior as desktop.
- If your site already has custom CSS for gallery cards (Large), the styles may conflict and may need small adjustments.
- If the style does not appear immediately, save the code again and refresh the live site.
