Features

Heading gradient

Headings follow a natural energy gradient from amber down to warm stone. Visual weight decreases with each level, so your note structure is readable at a glance.

Callouts

All 12 callout types are themed with warm palette colors. Info, tip, warning, error, example, question, success, quote, summary, todo, bug, and fail all map to distinct palette entries so they stay distinguishable without fighting the warm aesthetic.

Syntax highlighting

Full syntax palette in both editing and reading views. Functions = amber, keywords = burnt orange, strings = dried sage, types = steel patina. Both Prism.js (reading view) and CodeMirror 6 (editing view) token systems are covered.

Graph view

Graph nodes use the copper rust accent. Focused nodes glow amber. Tags get dried sage, attachments get dusty mauve. Lines and text stay muted so the structure reads clearly against the warm background.

Canvas

Six card colors mapped to palette entries: copper rust, amber, dried sage, steel patina, dusty mauve, and coral. The dot pattern uses the surface ramp so it stays warm.

Surface hierarchy

13-step warm ramp from deep brown-black to warm cream. No neutral grays anywhere. Every intermediate carries a warm undertone.

Dark background: #1a1510. Light background: #F5EDE0. Accent: #b8522e (copper rust).

Warm chrome

Tinted shadows, warm scrollbar tracks, soft selection highlights, warm cursor (gold, not red). Tags, checkboxes, metadata, blockquotes, embeds, tooltips, modals, and prompts stay warm.

Fonts

The theme ships with two bundled fonts so your vault looks consistent without installing anything:

• Inter (interface and body text): clean geometric sans-serif, closest open-source match to SF Pro. Designed for screens.
• Geist Mono (code blocks): clean monospace by Vercel, closest open-source match to SF Mono.

Both are variable fonts (single file, all weights) in woff2 format. Licensed under the SIL Open Font License.

You can override these in Settings > Appearance > Font at any time. The bundled fonts are defaults, not locked in.

Palette

Both variants derive from the canonical Warm Burnout palette defined in the main repository.

Requirements

Obsidian 1.0.0 or later.
