Elysian

Elysian

This is a simple Obsidian theme inspired by the UI of Disco Elysium. It has film-like markings, and a grainy texture that gives an impression of a rolling film as you scroll. Inline-titles, colorful text formatting and a classic UI font. Supports both light and dark theme.

Notes

  • This is my first theme and to be fair any kind of CSS work. I don't guarantee full functionality so please let me know if anything is broken or incompatible.
  • It works best with readable line width turned on, but the support for full line width is
  • Mobile works but there are a few quirks I didn't get to yet

Features

  • Fully working light theme
  • The texture background follows the content as you scroll
  • Some text formatting syntax features colors (bolding and bold-italic)
  • The inline title has a fitting background that makes it stand out
  • Internal and external links are different colors
  • Terminal-looking UI font
  • Light theme has darkening of selected line

Future plans

  • Add HTML markers for marking colored text (DE skills)
  • SVG background for higher resolution displays
  • Fix and adjust mobile look

Plugins

Due to it's feature of the background scrolling with the content, it may be buggy with some plugins. In my limited testing it works alright, but if you find any problems do let me know.
