  • Overview

Style files and folders in the Obsidian file explorer with bold, italic, and strikethrough effects. Supports cascade inheritance so folder styles can automatically apply to their children.

Features

  • Bold, italic, and strikethrough styling for any file or folder in your vault
  • Cascade inheritance — enable cascade on a folder to automatically apply its styles to all children
  • Override inherited styles — children can override or disable styles inherited from parent folders
  • Context menu integration — right-click any file or folder to quickly toggle styles
  • Automatic path tracking — styles follow files when renamed or moved

Usage

  1. Right-click any file or folder in the file explorer
  2. Select a style (Bold, Italic, or Strikethrough) to toggle it
  3. For folders, optionally enable cascade to apply the style to all contents

Cascade behavior

When cascade is enabled on a folder:

  • All files and subfolders inherit the folder's styles
  • Children can override inherited styles by setting their own
  • Children can explicitly disable an inherited style

Installation

  1. Open Settings → Community plugins
  2. Select Browse and search for "Underpowered Files"
