Enchanted for Obsidian

It's a color scheme for note-taking.

The purpose is to help with remembering or learning whether notes are read again or not. It's vibrant and points to things like when one highlights in a book or document.

If one does come back to read the notes, helpful ones are not necessarily well structured but having parts and passages pointed out and sectioned helps a lot in making future structures (if you're trying to do something or trying to learning from the notes).

In the context of a desktop screen, notes are a different place from browser windows and code windows (if one does that). Browser windows are a mess and there's not much to do about it. For code or command line windows, Solarized or similar themes of choice are everywhere and it's nice to be able to switch quickly when searching through window. Notes should be their own place at least visually. So this is what Enchanted is for, it's a sense of place, different from the other windows in your life.

Core colors in general: Pink, marine, mint, yellow, purple, rose

It's work in progress and starts as a color scheme for descriptive note-taking which takes some lessons from coding.

  1. Structure is important for readability and navigation for later when things makes less sense than when you first wrote it.
  2. Documentation/comments makes intention more clear when content and structure arent enough.

Less important details:

  • Image corners are softened
  • Tables are lightweight and only show the outer border on hover.
  • Comments are very well implemented in Obsidian's flavor of markdown. I could write for a long time about them but in short an important part of note-taking is that you can make notes for your notes, like writing on the margins of a page to expand a thought. In notes you can call out or highlight things but some things are less important than the main content. Callouts, highlights, bolding text makes text more important, comments go the other direction.

Side notes on the screenshots:

For my own use I have DM Sans, DM Mono, and SF Pro Display installed. You don't need them but you can download them for free from their respective places. JetBrains Mono is a fallback for monospace text.
