Giving my vote to this idea! Obsidian is awesome and deserves a proper outlining experience <3
Perhaps trivial, but in my attempts to make Obsidian more LogSeq-like, I wanted to have the ‘halo’ for folded headers.
It can be achieved with css like this:
.markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .is-collapsed~.cm-formatting-list .list-bullet:after,
ul>li.is-collapsed::marker {
color: var(--text-normal);
-webkit-text-stroke-width: 9px;
-webkit-text-stroke-color: #333;
}
Thank you for posting this. Not trivial to me. This css is just what I needed. I installed the zoom plugin and I have been trying to get it working better for me. Here is a video of what I got. Looks like Logseq. I’m no expert with css, so this needs cleaned up. If you try the zoom plugin and get this nicer, please post. The hover area is a little funky and close to the fold icon. This snippet is made from the plugin css and what you posted.
Editing to add: It I change the list into a task list, it changes the icons to the checkbox, instead of adding a checkbox. That’s disappointing.
Edited again because I changed the css. When folded, I have a color change.

.zoom-plugin-bls-zoom .cm-editor .cm-formatting-list-ol {
cursor: pointer;
}
.zoom-plugin-bls-zoom .cm-editor .cm-formatting-list-ul:hover::before {
cursor: pointer;
content: "•";
font-size: 200%;
-webkit-text-stroke-width: 9px;
position: absolute;
margin-top: -16px;
margin-left: -10px;
opacity: 50%;
}
.markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .cm-formatting-list .list-bullet:after,
ul>li.is-collapsed::marker {
color: var(--text-normal);
-webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px;
-webkit-text-stroke-color: #333;
margin-top: 9px;
margin-left: 7px;
opacity: 20%;
}
.markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .is-collapsed~.cm-formatting-list .list-bullet:after,
ul>li.is-collapsed::marker {
color: var(--interactive-accent);
-webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px;
-webkit-text-stroke-color: var(--interactive-accent);
margin-top: 9px;
margin-left: 7px;
opacity: 100%;
}
Also if you wanted to look I posted an issue about the horizontal line, when hoisted (zoomed). I can’t figure out what it is, to get rid of it. Make the horizontal line optional · Issue #64 · vslinko/obsidian-zoom · GitHub
I think this macro could imitate very well the select all bullet and nested bullet from these other apps.
It’s very useful to me to push whole heading or whole section of nested bullet points with one quick stroke.
Feel free to copy and try it yourself:
