x

x is a theme variation focused on reading, writing, and editorial work inside Obsidian. It keeps EB Garamond as its typographic base, while replacing the original colorful palette with parchment, ink, wine, bronze, and sage tones.

Preview

Focus

  • A more restrained, literary palette for long reading sessions
  • Warm contrast in both light and dark mode
  • Code blocks that feel less neon and closer to ink on paper
  • Folder accents that are muted instead of highly saturated
  • Compatibility with the existing Style Settings and pseudo mica effect

How Obsidian Themes Work

  • Obsidian loads themes from a folder inside .obsidian/themes/
  • An app theme requires at minimum theme.css and manifest.json
  • theme.css contains CSS variables and visual rules for the interface
  • manifest.json defines the theme name, version, author, and minimum Obsidian version
  • versions.json maps theme versions to compatible Obsidian versions when you publish releases

Repository Structure

  • theme.css: palette, typography, components, and settings exposed to Style Settings
  • manifest.json: theme metadata
  • versions.json: version compatibility
  • docs/preview/: reference screenshots

Changes In This Iteration

  • The documented variant was renamed to x
  • Base variables were adjusted in :root, .theme-light, and .theme-dark
  • Bright accents were replaced with a warm editorial palette
  • File explorer folder colors were softened
  • The color treatment for inline code, code blocks, and tokens was reworked

Manual Installation

  • Copy this repository into .obsidian/themes/
  • Select the theme from Settings -> Appearance
  • If you plan to publish this variant as x, also align the folder name and manifest.json with that name, since Obsidian expects them to match
