Owen Graphite

Owen Graphite is an Obsidian theme for long-form technical writing, Korean and English knowledge bases, and PDF/report workflows. The v3 codebase is rebuilt as modular CSS under src/, with release audits for bundle freshness, Style Settings compatibility, docs/assets links, CSS budget, Live Preview editability, and PDF header/footer behavior.

What It Is Good At

Workflow	What Owen Graphite improves
Long Korean and English notes	Balanced CJK/Latin typography, calmer spacing, stable long tables and code blocks
Technical documentation	Clear callouts, embeds, tables, code blocks, and document-style reading surfaces
PDF reports	Automatic heading numbering, first-page header labels, final-page footer labels, and reduced page-break issues
Daily Obsidian workspaces	Polished tabs, file explorer, search panes, settings controls, popovers, and type badges

Install

1. Open Obsidian.
2. Go to Settings -> Appearance -> Themes.
3. Search for Owen Graphite and enable it.
4. Optional: install the Style Settings plugin to adjust PDF labels, typography, glass intensity, motion, and accessibility options.

Manual ZIP installs should use the release asset named Owen-Graphite-3.1.69.zip, not GitHub's auto-generated source archive.

Development

The source of truth is src/. Do not hand-edit theme.css; build it from the v3 source tree.

python dev/scripts/bundle_v3.py
Copy-Item dist\theme-v3.css theme.css -Force
python dev/scripts/release_check.py

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full workflow.
