Red Graphite Theme

Share & showcase

Hi all, I never did create a post for the Red Graphite theme when I first released it ages ago (years?). Unfortunately real life got in the way and updates became low priority for me. But thankfully in the meantime many other developers stepped up and created amazing themes (I’m looking at you Minimal, and a few others). So I never really felt a need to update mine.

However, now that Obsidian has released v1.0 and Red Graphite was completely broken, I decided to at least bring it back to life … a little bit. :slight_smile:

I’ve submitted a PR for the Obsidian folks to review, and once approved (follow along here), it should show up again in the Community Themes list.

I wish I could list off a bunch of amazing features this theme has, but it’s really pretty minimal. I did finally rewrite and break things apart into SCSS files for simpler upkeep, and I did setup the colors so that you can make adjustments to the theme (using the Style Settings plugin), but that’s about the extent of the features.

Here are a few screenshots (and a few more on the Github link).


Thanks!

I love your theme, thank you!

I have a question about the horizontal rule element

In dark mode the horizontal rule shows as black, which makes for rather poor visibility.

I would like it to be the same as my accent colour (which can be changed in settings)

As a workaround I created a custom CSS snippet with the code
hr {
border-top: 1px solid #F59E15;
}
But this only shows my preferred colour in the Live Preview mode.
In the Read mode the horizontal rule-s are still black.

I’m very new at this, could you please advise me how to change the horizontal rule colour so that it is #F59E15 in all views?

Thank you in advance

hey i ended up finding that aliases in the file property menu are just completely invisible. I went ahead made a PR with just an added background of the same colour as the main editor in said tab just to make things visible as you can’t really use two different palettes in this case. Thanks again!

I just released a small update yesterday to address some issues created in the repo over the past year or so. For those still using the theme, hopefully that will help. Enjoy!
