Hello everyone! Radek from Poland here, author of Discordian - dark theme inspired by Discord which from now on you can find listed under community themes in Obsidian. https://github.com/radekkozak/discordian
First of all, as this is my first post i wanted to say: Happy New Year everyone ! Hope this one will be less pandemic and will find each of you in better place than the previous one.
Anyway, to quickly introduce myself: i am photog, writer and Android dev by profession. I’ve been managing my personal notes for years, historically with pen and notebook, then slowly with NV, NValt, with few hiccups of Bear and the Archive app. Needless to say i am avid Zettelkastener and now - which is kind of obvious - big Obsidian fan. I moved all of my notes to Obsidian somewhere in the midst of 2020 and i’ve been following this amazing forum and Discord channel for some time (mostly reading and sitting quiet as i am rather introvert guy who ditched social media eight years ago;)
Here i want to thank you all for the knowledge you give out on these forums. PKM and Zettelkasten realms are not so known in the place where i live - or developed as an idea and practice i should say - so i am even more grateful i found this helpful community. Not to make this longer than it has to be: since i’ve made Obsidian my default / to-go app for personal Zettelkasten and learn a ton from this place i decided to give something back to the community.
Hope you will enjoy this theme. Please consider it beta as it is product of my personal experience that i use on my daily basis. I did my best though to polish it enough to be used with the latest version of Obsidian and listed plugins. Wanted it to be simple, flat and unobtrusive but still with a flair and of course idea was to have a Discord look.
If you find a bug or ways to improve it - please let me know or better still file and issue or even PR on Github. There is also Discussions panel on Github if you prefer it that way Discussions · radekkozak/discordian · GitHub
You can also observe status of your issues by checking what i’m currently working on here: https://github.com/radekkozak/discordian/projects/2
Happy to accommodate and receive contributions from all of you !
Usage
-
For best experience possible, please download the fonts and install them in your system before using the theme. Provided fonts closely resemble those in Discord app and are sort of required here.
-
Install the Discordian Theme Plugin (listed in community plugins) This plugin is not required to use Discordian Theme, but highly recommended. It gives you more fine-grained control over some aspects of the theme along with Writer Mode, Flat Andy Mode, Paragraph Focus with customizable fade out, Readable line length and so on
