Obsidian Style Settings Plugin
This plugin allows snippet, theme, and plugin CSS files to define a set of configuration options. It then allows users to see all the tweakable settings in one settings pane. Style Settings allows both toggling classes on and off the body
element, as well as setting numeric, string, and color CSS variables.
This CSS Snippet can be used to adjust every CSS variable of the default Obsidian theme.
Configurable settings are defined by comments within CSS files beginning with /* @settings
. These comments must contain YAML with name
, id
, and settings
properties. Style Settings will scan for these comments in all CSS loaded by Obsidian from the snippets
, themes
, and plugins
directories under your vault's configuration directory (%yourVault%/.obsidian/
). Please see the Obsidian Docs for more information.
For example, adding this to a CSS snippet in your vault's snippets directory (%yourVault%/.obsidian/snippets
):
/* @settings

id: a-unique-id

-
