What If Your Obsidian Theme Changed the World, Not Just the Colour?
I kept thinking about one thing:
Why should an Obsidian theme only change how your vault looks?
I wanted it to change how the vault feels.
So I built Engineering → a theme inspired by seven engineering worlds.
Not seven colour presets.
Seven ways of thinking.
Foundation → Structure
Civil Engineers → Structural Engineers → Architects
Blueprints → Planning → Documentation
Circuit → Connection
Electrical → Electronics → Network Engineers
Signals → Dependencies → Information Flow
Catalyst → Experiment
Chemical → Materials Engineers → Chemists
Hypothesis → Experiment → Result
Machina → Components
Mechanical → Manufacturing → Industrial Designers
Component → Mechanism → Machine
Kinematics → Movement
Mechanical → Robotics → Physicists
Position → Motion → Change
Mission Control → Systems
Systems → Operations → Project Managers → Technical Leads
Status → Signals → Decisions → Action
Kernel → Logic
Software → Computer Science → Developers → System Administrators
Interface → System → Runtime → Kernel
→ It’s more than colour
Changing the discipline can change the whole visual atmosphere:
Surfaces → Typography → Spacing → Borders → Tables → Code → Callouts → Properties → Navigation → Visual hierarchy
Your notes stay the same.
Your world changes.

Install Style Settings:
Obsidian → Settings → Community Plugins → Browse → Style Settings → Install → Enable
Then:
Style Settings → Engineering → Engineering Discipline
Choose:
Foundation → Circuit → Catalyst → Machina → Kinematics → Mission Control → Kernel
You don’t need an engineering degree.
Choose the world that matches how you think.
Now I want to know:
What type of engineer are you?
→ Civil?
→ Mechanical?
→ Electrical?
→ Chemical?
→ Aerospace?
→ Software?
→ Something else?
And which world feels most like you?
