Community Directory: https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/isfahan-look
I built Isfahan for my own vault, and it’s now in the community directory. It gives Obsidian a lapis and turquoise look that changes through the day: it works out sunrise and sunset where you live and moves through four palettes (Dawn, Workday, Evening, Night). Light and dark mode switch with it.
What else it does:
- tile patterns behind note titles and in the file explorer (seven to choose from), and diamond checkboxes
- Page mode in Reading view: serif headings, a drop cap, footnotes in the margin, a reading-progress line, and the sidebars fading while you read
- the Properties block as a single ribbon line
- callouts and tables as soft raised cards
- a new tab with the clock, the weather, search and your recent notes
After installing, run “Create a sample page” to see it all on one note. The repo also has three templates (Book, Long-read, Daily).
It’s desktop only for now (not tried on mobile yet) and looks best on the default theme. The weather comes from Open-Meteo (only your place’s coordinates are sent, and you can turn it off).
Install: Settings → Community plugins → Browse → Isfahan
