I Have Created a Colorful Folders Plugin Please Give Me Feedback for Improvements

Easily organize your Obsidian vault with beautiful, automatically applied premium colors for every folder and subfolder.

Features

  • Monochromatic Depth Blending (New!): Choose whether subfolders should cycle through colors or maintain a uniform hue with their parent root folder.

  • Custom Hex Palettes (New!): Use your own brand or theme colors with a custom, comma-separated list of Hex codes.

  • Active File Road Glow (New!): Deeply understand your vault hierarchy with glowing path lines leading down to your currently active file.

  • Outline Only Mode (New!): Prefer a minimalist look? Toggle background colors off and keep only the bright, high-visibility folder guide lines.

  • Advanced Exclusion List (New!): Skip styling for utility folders like attachments, templates, or .obsidian.

  • Preconfigured Themes: Choose between Vibrant Rainbow & Muted Dark Mode color palettes.

  • Root Styles: Select between Solid Vivid Color (Default) or a Translucent Glow.

  • Real-time Refresh: Instantly updates when toggled or modified in settings.
