Separate windows are great, I have by now put together several workplaces in this way. There are a couple of things I would love to see:
Use case or problem
Having more than 2 external windows makes it difficult to differntiate them in the task switcher
Proposed solution
I would like an option to use separate CSS files for external windows. This would allow for a much more lively work athmosphere and allow to easily distinguish the windows of Obsidian.
Yes, that’s what I do, too. I have two different vaukts.
What I mean is something else, though: I have one big vault with different projects in in. Some of them are fictional, some are concepts and there is lots of different research going in. So I have at least 3-4 bigger “areas” with separate note sets And most of these would be pushed into external windows.
It would be great to have a chance to differentiate quickly: think a mustardy yellow for concepts, a rusty red for tasks and a cool blue or juicy green for two different fictional projects …
It looks as if this is affecting the entire workspace, though. I am not sure as, honestly, I wasn’t able to figure out how the feature works.
I suspect, however, that my situation is a little different: I use windows to create areas of work. They are open at the same time. So technically, they would all belong to the same workspace.
I wish to make them clearly stand out against each other precisely because they are open at the same time.
enable it under Settings > Appearance > CSS snippets
add the tint cssclass to front matter in any note you want to have the background color applied to.

cssclass: [tint]
alias: []
tags: []

It’s not perfect (tab-bar and status bar don’t have the tint, etc) but it gets the job done and the editing/reading modes are tinted. Of course the colors, styles, and name “tint” can be anything you want.
