Note

This theme for Obsidian.md was build using code from the Things Theme. I really like the Things theme, but i wanted to make some changes, and to be able to make changes in the future for a personal project.

Please support the original creator (@colineckert) of the theme, and use the original theme if you like it. Also, chances are high that the original theme is better than this one.

Improved Potato

Why this name? Because I'm a potato, and I'm trying to improve myself. Nah, just kidding. I mean, I am a potato, but that's not the reason for the name. GitHub came up with it when creating the Repository.

Whats the Point of this Theme?

As mentioned above, I wanted to make some changes to the original theme, while I'm also just curious about how to make a theme for Obsidian.

I have removed some functionality, that I don't use, and that I don't want to use. These were just unnecessary options and complicated configuration.

But speaking of configuration, I really like the way you can configure the theme using the Style Settings plugin. I have added some options to the theme, that I think are useful, and that I wanted to have.

Im also planning to add more options in the future.

This is also the main reason why I have created this theme in the first place. I'm a huge fan of the "configure everything until its ugly" approach that the JetBrains IDEs and Obsidian itself have.

Configuration options

• toggle fancy Code Block (copy of Things)
• toggle fancy Mermaid
• for each Header size (1-6):
  • Font Size
  • Font Color
  • Wether its underlined or not
• Divider color
• Base color (light and dark theme)
• line number color
• configurable line marker (toggle, line number color)
• Calouts
  • Custom Icons for the callouts c1 to c4

Features

Fancy Code blocks

Yeah i just like em

Fancy Headers

I kinda like em and you can change them as you want.

Custom callouts

A bunch of custom callouts.

Predefined are info, text, warn and mt.

You can choose the Icon for c1, c2, c3 and c4.

Every callout has to have a color attached.

Possible colors are:

• pink
• blue
• green
• yellow
• red
• purple
• orange
• light-blue
• cyan
• light-purple
• grey

So this is what a valid callout would look like:

[!info-pink] Title Content

Installation

Please use the Obsidian-build-in option with the theme store.

To configure this theme, use the Style Settings plugin.
