• Over 17k downloads .
• Theme size: From 13795 to 14492 lines | From 1479kb to 1504kb.
Somehow this theme seems to override the “Highlightr” plugin completely.
In Live Preview mode, there’s no colour to be seen. Depending on what setting is on (border, filled or both) there’s only a color corresponding with the “Accent Color”. Meaning no highlighting colour is seen.
In Read mode, it blends the border with the highlight colour(fill) selected. This causes bad contrast and hurts to read it.
Is there a way to turn this function off OR/AND have another option for the border color to correspond with the highlight color and have the highlight color be visible in Live Preview?
Added to Style Settings
• Minimal Right Sidebar option (User Interface ➜ Sidebar Elements).
• File Explorer File/Folder inset distance (User Interface ➜ Sidebar Elements ➜ File Explorer).

• Reduced the inset amount for nested tags.

Hi! I used this theme a while ago, and the headers had nice colors and were kind of highlighted.
Now I have decided to use it again, and it is much more… plain? Like in the screenshot below.
Something similar happens when I use the dark theme.
I have the style settings plugin installed, but I don’t think I ever changed anything on it.
And I don’t think I have other plugins that may impact the theme.
Does anyone have any idea about how to highlight the headers? Is there some option I missed?
Thanks!
Hey @KuroiNeko, the header customisation has been stripped back in v2.0.0 a few months back to help with ease of maintenance on my end. Since then I’ve added back some options (Font Size, Padding and Colour) if you go to Style Settings → Prism Theme → Editor → Headers.
Also if you are jumping back to the theme and updated from something before v2.0.0, I would recommend resetting your Style Settings to default since a lot of variable names that change parts of the theme have been changed so you might encounter some oddities.
For those on Insider:
Prism is currently undergoing a full rewrite to help clean up the codebase along a redesigned to accommodate a more minimal style closer inline with the new default theme in Obsidian v0.16.0. As such, the theme is currently being actively updated in the Main branch, so you will get updates on the fly as opposed to versioned releases until things are back to where they were. Overall you can expect large portions of the theme to be temporarily disabled (especially plugin styling) and plenty of rough edges throughout. It will likely take a few more days for me to test and validate everything before I deem it stable. For progress keep any eye out on the index.scss file in the repo which I’ve been using as a checklist and commit descriptions going forward.
In the meanwhile, enjoy the new default theme and give @kepano and the rest of the team some praise and feedback .
P.S. Keep in mind that what goes for Prism likely goes for other themes so please be patient and don’t bombard our repos with issues just yet. I assure you we know
Important
This release only supports Obsidian 1.0.0 or higher. If you are an existing user, it is highly recommended that you reset your Style Settings to default settings and restart Obsidian due to a large amount of changes. Also, the native accent colour picker won’t be used; use the relevant Style Settings instead.
New and Improved
Prism 3.0.0 is a complete rewrite of the theme to incorporate the changes made by the new Default theme introduced in Obsidian 1.0.0. The theme aims to supports Desktop, Phone and Tablet clients. The theme makes liberal use of the newly introduced variables to help with CSS Snippet compatibility and general overridability of Prism styling.
The rewrite also focuses on making the theme more maintainable for me which resulted in removal of multiple Style Settings features and overall design simplification. Going forward polish and stability will be prioritised over additional custom features. I aim to only support standardised features in Prism (be it native Obsidian, Community Plugins or popular CSS Snippets). Anything that creates incompatibility when switching to other themes or deviates too much from making your files Markdown / HTML spec compliant won’t be implemented or provided as a CSS Snippet.

I have installed prisim and thats is all fine but when I close obsidian and restart it opens in the previously used theme minimalist. Is there any obvious issue I should be considering to fix this behaviour? Any suggestions much appreciated,
Not sure why that is happening to you but I don’t think it’s the theme’s fault. You could try removing the appearance.json file in .obsidian in your vault and see if that does anything (maybe make a copy of it just in case to reference what settings you have set). Sometimes permission issues when using vaults on different devices cause oddities like this.
