To Primary Users 
Since its launch, Primary has gotten requests for its development even outside Obsidian. Logseq support will come, VSCode, etc. You can view the general roadmap on the link below.
Of course, the main meat is the Primary for Obsidian Roadmap! Here you’ll catch all the bugs, features, and updates I’m working on with Primary!! It also includes features I’ve been eyeing on for a while, but will be implementing in the future. It’s also open for comments so I’m more than happy to see your thoughts on them!
BTW - Transfer to Sass will be done by Wed/Fri of this week This will make updating the theme easier and faster (which means more frequent updates). I also received credits and will be using it to get Insider —this should help me get access to builds and will be able to potentially roll out updates in advance :3
@patrick_ambrosso - Check out the board linked above! I think you’d be happy to find out the extent of how the customizations will go 
They will come soon!

To Primary Users! 
v.1.0 is out now!
Comes with tons of bug fixes, support for Obsidian v.0.13+, improved UI design, and ready for more updates!
Currently broken: Aside/Sidenotes (due to v.0.13 update. it’s harder to fix since I stopped using this. [Help wanted!])
Also, I’m brewing something up.
I’m an absolute color nerd. I studied colors a lot back in high school when I was learning to paint! It looks like the hard work has been transferred to other mediums as well, and ever since I published Primary, many have asked me for help in colors or has commented how beautiful Primary’s palette is (thank you so much). I wanted to share all the practical knowledge I’ve picked up and taught myself over the years to others. If you’re looking to improve your coloring skills, come join us to become a Color Connoisseur! 
(At the bottom, you get to tell me the color you hate and why 
)
New 
- Full WYSIWYG Support! #13 , #14 , #33 , #46
- Full support of syntax highlighting for Codeblocks (does not preempt Primary’s syntax highlighting for other apps) #7
- Search Current File now has a new look #40
Changes 
- Active Line on Preview removes background focus color from gutter. It only highlights text now. Source view still highlights the gutter. #8
- Code moved to using Sass
- Made the headers h1 to h6 slightly smaller
- Improved UI
Fixes 
- Reduced height of link suggestions on Mobile #22
- Cursor now appears when in an empty line #25
- Paragraph breaks now work within a quote block #28
- Collapsing arrows should now be bug free and properly aligned #26
- Images should now be resizable #29
- Status bar now doesn’t interfere with Workspace tab contents #34

@Cecilia_May : I use sidenotes quite a lot, but only the hide version. If it is of any help, below is the code that I use for Primary. I left rules that I outcommented in for completeness sake.
I had to adjust @SlRvb’s original code a bit to make it work. You can find the code for the other types of sidenote on that page too.
/* Original Live Preview-amended snippet here : https://github.com/SlRvb/Obsidian--ITS-Theme/blob/main/S%20-%20Aside.css */
.is-live-preview .aside-hide { margin-right: 0; }

Hi! Love the theme, but I have a question. Since I started using it, I noticed that images and other embeds are left aligned on my notes instead of centered. I’ve dug around the theme’s css file but admittedly I’m a noob at this so I couldn’t get it to work. Is there any way to center all images/embeds by default?
Thank you so much!! I’d love to give you the right snippet for this! But I need a little bit more context!
- Could you kind of show me what’s going on there for both images and embeds?
- What kind of embeds are you pertaining to – markdown embeds or file embeds like audio etc?
- Do you have a previous theme where you found this an essential feature?
Let me know soon!!
Sure! For example, this is an image embedded onto a note with the Primary theme. It is aligned to the left instead of the center.
This is the same page but with the Horizon theme which I previously used. The images are centered in the page instead.
The only other embed I’ve tried this with is with Excalidraw drawings, which has the same behavior.

Hello again @synaut! Here’s a snippet I’ve tested with Primary. This should center images both in Live Preview and Preview. Let me if this works!
center-images.css (253 Bytes)
It does work! Thank you very much! (both for the snippet and for the awesome theme once again)

Thanks for developing this theme! I use it primarily because on how embeds (![[]]) work.
If you were to develop a premium palette with a brighter white note background then that is something I’d be interested in paying for.

Thanks for the suggestion @Gnopps! Just added it to the list for the Premium Palettes release! Thank you so much for the kind words too 
Thanks for making this theme! I use obsidian for my study notes. Found your theme best suited.
Since I stare at the screen a lot, I would really appreciate if you can create settings for customizing the background color to reduce the glare.

It’s update time again! I just released v.1.4.0 which features stylized Callouts and Multicolored Highlights!
New
Added beautiful support for Obsidian’s Callouts (aka sherlocked Admonitions)!
Full support of Obsidian’s standard callout syntax, and added a couple of my own, including a very special “celebrate” or “success” callouts (they’re moving gradients, perfect for a little party in your vault)!
Custom Callouts
> [!idea] for Ideas
> [!morning] for Morning Reflections/Meditations
> [!pro] for Pros
> [!con] for Cons
> [!celebrate] for your Vault Parties
Added option for Multicolored Highlights! This can be toggled through Style Settings. You can also change the colors to your liking.
Added Secondary Colored Headers option through Style Settings. This will enable heading to cycle through Orange, Green, Violet colors from h1 through h6.
Fixes
- Fixed callout padding issue while improving callouts #94
- Fixed highlighting text selection issue while improving highlights #66
- Fixed Find/Find-Replace search input padding
- Fixed position of search input clear
xbutton - Fixed alternate checkboxes Cancelled
-text not being muted in color
Changes
- Changed highlight colors to be more translucent
- Changed some Callout icons and colors better fit with Primary
- Moved Edit Codeblock button from the right to the left side to avoid interfering with Callouts
- Changed syntax for Alternative Checkboxes for (I decided to go with the syntax most other themes were using and instead make a snippet for my preferences hehe):
- [p] Pros (before it was b)
- [c] Cons (before it was p)
- [b] Bookmark (before it was v)

@Cruzer - Thank you so so much for the kind words! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!! I’m slowly fine-tuning the code so that the theme’s colors become customizable! As these updates roll out that include new additions to colors (like the highlights above), the color codebase also gets fine-tuned. The color customizations update will come soon!

Thank you very much for such a wonderful theme. I just started using it and I love it.
I have one small issue for callouts. If there any other symbol or letter is present between the square brackets, I am seeing strikethrough. I have attached the image.
Thank you again for the theme and help with this issue.
Best,
Sai
Cecilia, you did an amazing job!
I’ve found one thing, when searching in a note with CMD-F, there is nothing visual that shows where the string is found. I hope it can be resolved!
