Obsidian Snippets

Just some simple CSS snippets for customising the appearance of Obsidian.

Install by dropping files into your Obsidian snippets folder.

1. callout-restore-all.css

Obsidian 1.0 changed callouts in three ways:

1. Left-hand border removed
2. Grey callout body took the same colour as its header
3. Header text no longer black

This snippet restores the whole old appearance.

2. callout-restore-border.css

Restore only the left-hand border of callouts to their pre-1.0 appearance.

This accent colour gives callouts enhanced definition.

3. collapse-visible.css

In Obsidian, elements like headers and bullet list items can fold to collapse. Default behaviour is to only show the collapse arrow on hover. This has two negative consequences:

1. Difficult to use on mobile.
2. Reduced inclination to collapse.

This CSS makes the arrows permanently visible.

4. header-colours.css

A few pastel colours for header text in dark mode.

5. header-weight-heavier.css

Increase each header text weight to 800, making for stronger, bolder headers.
