Open Notes Graph Highlight

An Obsidian plugin that visually highlights currently open notes in the graph view.

Features

• Color highlight — open notes appear in a custom color
• Size boost — open notes are enlarged to a fixed size, independent of link count
• Dim other nodes — non-open notes are faded out so open notes stand out
• In-graph control panel — adjust color, size, and opacity directly in the graph view without opening settings
