You’re right Fastidious, I have been rather short in explanations.
Here below you will find the before/after screenshots, and a short “How to”
Before (native Obsidian editor User Interface):
After (editor UI using the CSS Snippet, see How to below):

Short How To
In Obsidian parameters
- go to the “Appearance” part
- at the end of the parameters, there is the “CSS snippets” part
- you can access the folder where those CSS files are stored by clicking on the folder icon next to the title “CSS snippets”.
- create a CSS file in this folder, copy paste the exact content of the CSS code shared in my initial post, in this file
- save it
- go back to the parameters, update (click on the icon with the two arrow circling to one another)
- you will see the name of the file you just created appearing
- activate it
- that is it. Your editor UI will behave nearly like Typora (not as clean, but it made the full switch possible for me)
Note: the difference with Typora is much bigger for tables. This CSS snippet makes them easier to read, but not much simpler to edit. Here is a screenshot of a table in edition mode, when this snippet of CSS code is activated:
Note: you can change the color of the checkboxes, links or the horizontal line which is displayed instead of just “—” in standard editor UI.
Hope that answers your question.
