Welcome to the Neobrutalism Theme, a colorful and cozy theme for Obsidian. Pastel colors, bold black outlines, hard shadows and rounded corners turn your workspace into a set of friendly boxes on a dotted background, while the writing area stays calm and easy to read.

Features

  • Boxes everywhere: Sidebars, tab groups, the ribbon and the status bar are separate boxes with black borders and hard shadows. The layout holds up when you move, split, stack or collapse panes.
  • Pastel color zones: Green dotted background, a warm eggshell editor, red left sidebar, blue tab bars and a lilac right sidebar. A note keeps its eggshell writing surface wherever you put it.
  • Everything styled: Callouts, tables, code blocks, tags, checkboxes, properties, embeds, footnotes, settings, command palette, menus, Canvas, Graph view and Bases.
  • Connected file tree: Tree lines like in LazyVim and simple folder icons that open and close.
  • Fonts included: Unbounded for headings, Outfit for text and JetBrains Mono for code, embedded in the theme. Nothing is loaded from the internet.
  • Light and dark mode: In dark mode the surfaces turn dark while the pastel stickers stay bright, and every area gets outlines and shadows in its own color.
  • Desktop and mobile: Works on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
  • Customizable: Gaps, borders, shadows, corner radius, colors, fonts and more with the Style Settings plugin. Every value is also a CSS variable at the top of theme.css.

Style Settings

Install the Style Settings plugin and open its settings tab to adjust:

  • Layout: gap between boxes, gap on phones, tab bar height, hide the status bar
  • Shape: border width, shadow offset, corner radius, hover movement, image borders, tree lines
  • Background: dot grid on or off, dot size and spacing
  • Colors (separately for light and dark mode): background, editor, panels, each sidebar, tab bars, ribbon, status bar, accent, borders, shadows, tags, heading markers, folder icons
  • Typography: heading font, text font, heading markers on or off

Notes

  • On macOS, Obsidian uses native context menus by default. They are drawn by the system and cannot be themed. Turn off "Native menus" in Obsidian's settings to get the themed menus.
  • Folder icon outlines are always 2px, also when you change the border width.

Fonts

The theme embeds these fonts (Latin subset). All of them are licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
