I've been using the 80s Neon theme w/ Advanced Appearance plugin to darken the background a bit and change the font to a dyslexia friendly font, and I thought Obsidian was setting my neurodivergent brain off before but that was nothing compared to how my brain is with the new theme!

If you wanted Obsidian to display all your notes in Times New Roman, how would you do it? Or, have Times New Roman as the default font that's used by Obsidian?

Nice vid. Could have explained how to create a custom theme though. CSS is not that hard should it be to style a few elements. I also went into settings and found a few more I am interested in to have a closer look and experience to VS Code. Disable Readable line length Enable show line number Switch Default editing mode to source mode Tab indent size to 3 (personal pref)

Like your theme 👍 Nice 👍 😊

I believe the key point is with different themes, it becomes easier to avoid boredom.

I'm new here and enjoying a lot this beginners' series. Thanks! Just one question: what should I do to go back to Obsidian's original theme? Again: thank you a lot! Your vids was the reason I started testing Obsidian. I just found these sw PKS. Initially I thought about starting with Roam Research, but today there is no free version. Roam seemed to me to have an intuitive and interesting way of working. Searching for options to Roam I found Obsidian, Remote and many others. RemNote seems to be a great tool, but it seemed a little complicated to use. I am not familiar with flashcards for instance, so watching your vids I decided to start with obsidian. Cheers from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Hi, probably the wrong place to ask but I'm here already, so. I have been using the Cybertron theme for obsidian, which I found amazing. The only qualm I have with it is that it cuts embedded links at a fixed point (which I think it's stock with obsidian) but doesn't allow you to scroll through it (Which the base theme allows). I know I can edit the CSS of the theme to personalise it, but I don't know CSS so I can't figure out where to edit to add the feature back. Could you please point me to it? Thanks.
