The Chroma Amulet preset is a special preset that you can use to create multiple color themes.

How it Works:

  1. Select "MagicUser Chroma Amulet" preset.
  2. Select theme color using the first slider: color.
  3. Adjust the level of saturation using the second slider (turn this one closer to zero to greyish tones).

Quick and User-Friendly: The Chroma Amulet preset theme streamlines the theme personalization process, allowing you to create your favorite theme workspace colors effortlessly (using 1 or 2 sliders).

  • Automatic adjustment: The Chroma Amulet preset automatically changes the color of various interface elements. This includes:
    • Icons,
    • Vault name,
    • Inline title,
    • Code punctuation,
    • Sidebars and other UI elements.

MagicUser Chroma Amulet theme does not affect your accent color. So you can still use your favorite accent color with your chosen theme colors.

Warm Screen Mode

Warm screen mode

Warm screen mode - gif

Style Settings:

UI Settings -> UI Advanced Settings -> Warm screen mode

  • Instead of just dimming the screen, the warm scren mode adjusts the light spectrum towards warmer tones (red, orange, yellow) and reduces cooler tones (e.g. blue).
  • Warmer tones are considered less harsh on the eyes, especially in low-light environments or extended use.
  • The warm screen mode can create a more relaxing and soothing atmosphere for reading, working, or viewing media.
  • If you embed PDFs, you will be able to read them with warmer screen color.

Warm screen mode

  • You can adjust the warm screen mode intensity (using the slider).
  • To turn it off, set the slider to zero (default option).

Dataview Tables to Cards

Dataview tables to cards

  • Dataview tables can be converted to cards. Add cssclasses property (with cards class) on the note you want to transform the dataview tables to cards. This cards class was inspired by @kepano excellent Minimal theme, but it is a different code and look. I hope you also find it useful.

  • The default cards class will add 3 columns maximum. If you want just 2 columns add cards cards2 (cssclasses property).

---
# Display table to cards (2 columns)
cssclasses:
  - cards
  - cards2
---
  • You can add 5 additional classes: cards1, cards2, cards3, cards4 and cards5 (corresponding to the number of columns - 1 to 5 columns). I think this is easy to remember and implement.

# Display table to cards (5 columns)
cssclasses:

Caret Colors for Improved Visibility

Dark mode caret color

Caret Width (Selection and Multiple Cursors)

Dark mode caret width

  • When selecting text, the main edit cursor/caret will have a different width for better visibility (no blinking caret).

  • Additional carets/cursors have a different width and no blinking carets (solid appearance).

Active line background and border colors

MagicUser theme line highlight

  • It works inside code samples and normal editor areas.
  • Active line number will have the same color of the text cursor/caret.

Search Highlight and Text Highlight

Text Highlight

  • Global search highlight, linked mentions and outline text highlight.
  • The search result text in live preview, source and reading modes will appear in black text color with highlighted background (default is yellow, but you can select any highlight color using the Style Settings).
  • In live preview and source modes, the text will also appear underlined to be easier to find. It works for all types of text (normal text, bold, italic, links, tags, code and headings).

Note

The underline will be the same color of your text cursor/caret color.

  • Outline highlight: When you click on the item (using the outline) it will highlight the text the same way (search). I think it will be easier to read, especially when using different colors for H1-H6 titles (normal mode and neon mode).

Search Highlight in Current Note

Search Highlight in Current Note

Inline Comments

MagicUser Inline Comments

  • Inline interactive comments. You can add inline comments to any part of your note, and when you hover over it, the content will be displayed in a box. The comment icon will be highlighted.

  • They were designed for quick comments 1 - 4 paragraphs.

  • The inline comments will not be printed or exported to PDF.

Syntax:

  1. Add the <i> tag with the class muc (MagicUser Comment)
  2. Inside <i class="muc"> just add a <span> tag with your comment. There is no need to add any class to the span tag.

Example

This is the text of your note <i class="muc">
  <span>
    This is your first inline comment.
  </span>
</i>
  • If you're used to HTML, just make it one line:
This is the text of your note <i class="muc"><span>This is your inline comment.</span></i>

MagicUser Theme for Obsidian

MIT License ⓒ Bernardo Pires

Most of the icons for the checkboxes and the quote icon were created by me (MIT License). You can find the comment in the embedded SVGs.

The icons used by the file icon, other callouts and some checkboxes icons are from Lucide Icons used by Obsidian. The Lucide icon library is licensed under the ISC License.

Some checkbox icons were inspired by the excellent Minimal Theme by Stephan Ango (@kepano) and the Things Theme by Colin Eckert (@colineckert). You can find more information about @kepano and @colineckert below, please check their themes and support their work:
