Cleaner Theme Obsidian Snippet

Cleaner Theme for Obsidian

This small snippet will make the any theme cleaner. It's goal is to remove any unecessary elements and focus only on the notes itself using keyboard shortcurts to interact with Obsidian.

Faded elements

As you can see, some UI elements are just faded, such as the note header and status bar on the bottom. Those will increase their opacity once you mouseover.

Removing Sidebars

To interact with the sidebars UI, to have a even more focused view, I recommend to hide those. This can be easily done using the Toggle Right Sidebar and Toggle Left Sidebar commands that can be found using ctrl+k (cmd+k on MacOS) shortcurt.

A easier way is to add a keyboard shortcut to activate that command, I recommend using ctrl+[ to toggle left and ctrl+] to toggle right.

Why this is not a full theme?

Themes can have much more resources, such as styling specific elements. This is a flexible way to always have a way to "clean" any theme.
