Claude Warm

A warm, quiet theme for Obsidian.

Claude Warm uses soft ivory in light mode and charcoal gray in dark mode, with muted red accents and a little extra breathing room around the editor. It is inspired by Claude's warm, low-contrast interface: calm enough to disappear, but not so plain that every pane feels the same.

Features

• Light and dark color schemes
• Warm backgrounds with restrained contrast
• Muted red accents for links, tags, selections, and focused controls
• Softer sidebars, tabs, menus, modals, tables, callouts, and code blocks
• No remote fonts or external assets

Install

From Obsidian

After the theme is accepted into the community directory:

1. Open Obsidian Settings.
2. Go to Appearance.
3. Next to Themes, click Manage.
4. Search for Claude Warm and click Use.

Manually

1. Create a folder named Claude Warm in your vault at .obsidian/themes/.
2. Copy manifest.json and theme.css into that folder.
3. Restart Obsidian.
4. Go to Settings -> Appearance -> Themes and choose Claude Warm.

Development

Claude Warm keeps the source intentionally small. Most of the theme is built from Obsidian CSS variables, with a few light selectors for surfaces that need a softer shape.

Files worth knowing:

• theme.css is the theme.
• manifest.json is the Obsidian theme manifest.
• versions.json maps theme versions to the minimum supported Obsidian version.
• screenshot.png is the preview used by the community theme directory.

Run the local validator before release:

node scripts/validate-theme.mjs

Regenerate the 512 x 288 preview image:

node scripts/generate-screenshot.mjs

Release

Releases are created by GitHub Actions when a version tag is pushed.

1. Update manifest.json and versions.json to the new version.
2. Commit the change.
3. Create and push a tag that exactly matches manifest.json, for example:

git tag 1.0.0
git push origin 1.0.0

4. GitHub Actions creates a draft release and uploads manifest.json and theme.css.
5. Review the generated release notes, then publish the draft.

Feedback

Issues and pull requests are welcome. Screenshots are especially helpful for UI bugs, since many theme problems depend on plugins, panes, and operating system settings.
