I've watched the videos some hours ago and installed the template with your modification. I really love the effect. It looks so nice again now. Thanks for the inspiration, Nick.
I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos and resources. They are so valuable, and I'm so grateful for everything I've learned and gained from you and your channel.
Thank you for the video Nick! For some reason, the New York font wasn't applied to Reading view, only the Live Edit view, but when I added the New York font to Options->Appearance->Font->Text Font, it was applied to all views. Cool!
@@linkingyourthinking I had the same question, thanks @chadarmstrong! The only catch with this fix is that it makes New York the default font for all Themes (unless I'm doing something wrong). So it makes the context switching between Prism and Soft Paper less seamless. Is this something we would have to ask the AnuPpuccin developer to "fix"?
Thank you for this. I've been favoring dark themes for years but after seeing this video and installing the theme I'm loving the look/feel of it. It's satisfying and conducive to spending more time thinking/reflecting/creating than before. It's shiny and new, but I honestly think this will change how I engage with my PKM from now on. Thanks again!
Great works and demo, highly appreciated. I was on Minimal Theme before I watched this video. You are right, the moment my screen turn "Soft paper" the brain seems to feel differently. I like the rainbow sidebar the most.
Found your video via searching for Obsidian and am happy to see someone this versed and informative. I love the AnuPpuccin theme because it separates all the different elements that Obsidian has and makes even folders, nice to look at.
The theme I am using right now is Primary, a theme that won the official award for best theme back in 2021 I think, it got abandoned but the dev recently got back to it and now is available again! It also has that soft paper warm cozy feel. I use it with the noir pro font, a bit chunky but imo pairs perfectly with the theme.
Beautiful tweak for the AnuPpuccin theme! Really like the New York font with this too. Pro tip: there is an Obsidian command built in for "Change Theme", which makes it super-easy to switch back and forth between themes, as the mood suits you!
Thank you. Love your theme. Installed it and will use it. For me themes are more a way to keep things interesting. I work in a dry technical field - managing a team of technical analysts and looking at numbers all day or build data systems and processes so anything that triggers a creative streak is welcome! I used to use notion but the lack of themes forced to me stop using it.
I like to use the Things theme for its custom bullet list symbols that allow me at a glace to see, whether a note I made covers e.g. an idea (light bulb) or a question (question mark), or an issue (fire). I am using this to track my thoughts on my work projects.
I actually love your Cybertron theme. I love that bold and italics have different colors Only thing is it looks better on my old PC than my new MacBook Pro!
Watched this video yesterday and if you hadn’t figured it out: It’s called AnuPpuccin from the (mostly Unix) catppuccin theme and it follows that color palette very closely! I think this is the same Anu (from Anubis (DLC Unlocker dude?) + ppuccin (from Catppucin)!
To all those windows obsidian users, 1dt theme doesn't look as colourful as MAC in windows, instead of light mode use dark mode which in windows is better suited for them. and new york font is not in windows typography
From the very beginning the only Obsidian theme that's really worked for me is the legacy theme Pisum. I believe "legacy" implies that it is no longer being developed/supported. A pity, since it struck me as such a warm, inviting place to work in from the moment I first installed it and has never lost its appeal. Pisum simply gets out of the way and lets my mind get lost in the content. But Soft Paper is a new fave. Thanks.
Nice. Thanks for this. I'm using the dark version of the theme and that required tweaking the colors a bit. But I found a good combo and really like it. About the New York font -- it is pretty sweet, but doesn't work well outside of the apple-verse. When I copied the fonts to Linux they did not render well at all (very thin). But on my system there was a font called Noto Serif and I found that works will. But how to get a shared vault to work across macOS and Linux? You can specify multiple fonts in the settings. Changing the Font Family settings for Live Preview and Reading modes to: "New York","Noto Serif" works great ... on my macOS it finds New York and uses it ... on my Linux system it doesn't find New York so it looks for Noto Serif, finds it, and uses it. Having said that, I don't think we are supposed to be using "New York" in this way. Looking at the license for that font, Apple says its use is restricted to making designs and mockups of products to be delivered on Apple devices; it is not licensed for general use. That said, you can probably get away with it for personal use, but there are plenty of quite good serif fonts out there that you can use instead. So I'll be switching to a different serif font on macOS, real soon now.

@@harikrishnasuku Same, but found the solution for you. Go to Settings > Appearance > Text Font > Manage and add New York (or your serif font of choice there). If you've added any other fonts this way, make sure your serif font is at the top. Then voila, Reading Mode will render that font. (I tried doing this through the Style Settings for AnuPpucchin, but it doesn't have an option for Reading Mode.)
Thanks for sharing this! It looks very interesting. Unfortunately I have an issue with the settings. I can’t save the code copied from Google Drive, the error message is referred to a missing comma or curly bracket. I checked it and it’s complete. Any suggestions from anyone?
Although I use Obsidian all day, I had never thought of the effect of changing themes to change mental context. Very interesting. It's a shame you can't have variations of the same theme at the same time as I'm already using a heavily modified version of annuPpuccin. Thanks Nick
Your theme Soft Paper is an amazing improvement - gorgeous and easy on the eyes - many thanks, Nick! The only thing I will have to modify is to reduce the size of the note title font; since it's so big it's hard to have more than a few readable notes on the Canvas. Could you (or anyone else) just give a hint of which number(s) I should change to reduce the size of the note title font?
Thank you for the tutorial! Is there the New York font for linux or windows? It seems to exist a few New York fonts. Which one exactly is used here? I don't have mac.
Hi, cool, thank you for the work that has gone in tweaking this. It is so cool to just have to do the import! Loving Obsidian even more. I also have the prism theme, can I download the LYT mode also in the appearance section? Dit you use a hotkey for changing the style changes? It was so fast in the video?
Yep, LYT Mode is available as a theme in Settings > Appearance. (Ironically, it's only meant to be used in dark mode.) I made "Change Theme" into a hotkey, yes. All my hotkeys are included in Ideaverse Starter Kit and Ideaverse Pro.
@@linkingyourthinking Thank you for the prompt reply. I could not find LYT mode, but changing the mode to dark mode did the trick! Keep up the good work!
I use AnuPpuccin, but I find your Soft Paper styling with the colorful window and full rainbow folders to be still a bit too loud for my tastes. My styling is much more minimal, which makes it easy to transition between light and dark mode while retaining focus, but the colors are still soft so it brings me more calm. I did like your use of the New York font, though, and I think I’ll incorporate that into my style settings.
I've been pretty happy with the minimal theme (with the extended features) for its simplicity. Considering soft paper for when I try out the Ideaverse vault. The only concern I have is that the lack of folder structure in Ideaverse makes me too dependent on obsidian in order to access my files/connections.
I love this theme and am looking for a suitable windows typeface, will try Cambra. Also, the H2 Font Weight was set to 100 which looks odd, changed it to 800.
I like many parts of the Soft Paper styling. I do find that the "paper" is too dark for me. Which line of code is for the paper color? I would like to lighten it up. Thanks.
Thanks for the post, a nice soft look. I am working with Obsidian in windows, and I've downloaded a zip file with all New York fonts, .omf format. When I do a search, it says I need to install these in the font folder which I can't find in the Obsidian vault. Any ideas of where this is or work arounds? thanks
Veo tus videos desde hace poco tiempo. Permíteme decirte de las dos formas que sé, para ser conciso y no aburrirte con un discurso (aunque puede que hiciera falta). ¡¡¡Eres muy bueno explicando y las presentaciones que haces son muy recomendables, ojalá supiera el inglés de la manera más fluida para entender a la primera el tema de Obsiadian.md que tratas!!! I have been watching your videos for a few months now. Let me tell you in the two ways I know how, to be concise and not to bore you with a speech (although it may have been necessary). you are very good at explaining and the presentations you make are highly recommended, I wish I knew English in the most fluent way to understand at first the Obsiadian.md subject you deal with!!!!!
I installed your mods to AnuPpuccin and have been finding myself using it frequently. 🙂I appreciate the work you put into the mods and the video. I was wondering if you could help me make 3 changes to the light theme. I would like to make the milky overlay less, that is, more transparent. I'd also like to make the note text font a bit darker. Both of these would help my old eyes see things better. Is there a way to make these changes?
I love this theme. I have followed the instructions and managed to get everything installed. The only thing that bugs me is that the folder colors repeat, like the red one is twice and then the teal one three times before another color is used. Is there any way to change this? So that each color is used only once before it starts repeating?
Thanks so much for sharing this; it is a very beautiful theme I will install, currently, I use "Shiba Inu" Sadly It is no longer supported by it's creator but is a really nice one too, I would recommend using it too
I can follow you better now that you are calming down. Personally, dark themes are much more chill than light themes. Is there some way that I could remove the overly flashy yellow in LYT dark view and highlight the folder that I am using without confusing yellow on other folders. I wish your LYT theme had more of the calm vibe. The over use of bright yellow bothers me the most in your LYT theme. A less vibrant color would help. Is there some way for me to use the style setting plugin to make that change?
It would be amazing to have Style Settings options for LYT Mode. That's beyond my abilities, but if someone out there magically wanted to help, that'd be pretty cool
@@linkingyourthinking One user wrote: The reason is that Obsidian loads as you scroll. Once you scroll pass an initial length, the element will be removed. Say you have 100 folders and only folders within the range of 20 is loaded. So when you scroll to folder #21, folder #1 will be removed from UI, and the 1st index (color Red) will now be assigned to folder #2 (before it is color Orange because it has index 2). - so I think until now just collapse unneeded folders while scrolling to avoid the color change :)
Weird, thanks for noting that. I wonder what's causing that. It's almost like the rainbow settings are canceling each other out or something. Maybe others will know more...
I'm relatively new to Obsidian. I watched Nick Milo's beginners play list - Excellent. Installed the Anuppucin theme. Its great. Just one major problem, now my vertical SCROLL BAR is missing. (I'm on a PC, and can still scroll using the arrow keys, but thats a pain). Can anyone suggest how to get it back, WITHOUT having to uninstall this beautiful theme.
I think I have your solution. Go to...Settings » Style Settings » AnuPpuccin » Show/Hide Ul Elements » Hide Scrollbars ... It's currently toggled on, so try toggling it off.
Does anyone have font recommendations for Linux? I use Zorin, a distro based on Ubuntu. Can't install New York, so I'm looking for substitutes or tips.
On Windows it is possible to install the font by opening the Apple Installer package in 7zip and then drilling down the actual font files (there are a whole bunch of them), extracting them, then selecting all fonts and right-clicking and "Install" or "Install for all users". However, the font does not look the same for me as it does on Nick's screen. Regular text appears much thinner and not comfortably readable, even when zoomed in. The font possibly needs different configuration on Windows, or as @harikrishnasuku has said, maybe a different font recommendation for Windows.
@@linkingyourthinking Regarding the font readability on Windows, I think I have solved that. If you change the font in Style Settings to "New York Small", or "New York Medium" (depending on preference) rather than "New York", then it looks much more like your setup Nick. This doesn't solve the switch back to default on Reading Mode though.
Is there a way to make it stop changing the colors of the left menu when you scroll through your folders? It is extremely distracting and no idea what the point of it even is.

Open Obsidian, press Command+P (or Ctrl+P on Windows), type Reload, and click Reload app without saving.
Step 10:
Quit and reopen Obsidian.
Is the font you mentioned available outside of the Applesphere (I'm a Linux user)?
@@torspedia I think so, but it may take extra steps. As an alt, try Cambria or Times. Or Times New Roman.
Why did you use a google doc instead of github gist? Seems like the more default way of sharing code
@@aamira I don't know how to code and while I have a github account, it deeply intimidates me
@@linkingyourthinking I have TNR installed, so ta for the suggestion. 🙂
The most satisfying form of procrastination.. changing the theme 🥰
😂😂😅 so true.. I kept exploring themes in Obsidian but then I stopped 😅
Give in to the dark side
What theme did you settle on?
For me the most important thing is H1 H2 H3 etc in different colors

Glad it was easy for you to follow and that you're enjoying it!
I liked the Prism and Anuppucin themes thank you!! I think I will try out Prism for my work vault and Anuppucin for my personal vault

I agree. It would be nice to stick with a theme we're already most comfortable with and just have a few variations.
How can I add the New York font to my windows?
In the comments, the consensus is to use a different font like Times New Roman
The name anuPpuccin is probably a combination of the dev's name, and the theme it is based on, catppuccin

I did like your use of the New York font, though, and I think I’ll incorporate that into my style settings.
Thanks for sharing; I'm happy you found something that works for you, and glad that you have a serif font going at the very least :)
I've been pretty happy with the minimal theme (with the extended features) for its simplicity. Considering soft paper for when I try out the Ideaverse vault. The only concern I have is that the lack of folder structure in Ideaverse makes me too dependent on obsidian in order to access my files/connections.
I love this theme and am looking for a suitable windows typeface, will try Cambra. Also, the H2 Font Weight was set to 100 which looks odd, changed it to 800.
Yeah, H2 was an ironically bold choice (get it?).
I would like to know how you make your dropdown-boxes or whatever they are called (the Atlas, Calendar and Efforts bars) get that nice color and icons
I like many parts of the Soft Paper styling. I do find that the "paper" is too dark for me. Which line of code is for the paper color? I would like to lighten it up. Thanks.
Thanks for the post, a nice soft look. I am working with Obsidian in windows, and I've downloaded a zip file with all New York fonts, .omf format. When I do a search, it says I need to install these in the font folder which I can't find in the Obsidian vault. Any ideas of where this is or work arounds? thanks
Veo tus videos desde hace poco tiempo. Permíteme decirte de las dos formas que sé, para ser conciso y no aburrirte con un discurso (aunque puede que hiciera falta). ¡¡¡Eres muy bueno explicando y las presentaciones que haces son muy recomendables, ojalá supiera el inglés de la manera más fluida para entender a la primera el tema de Obsiadian.md que tratas!!! I have been watching your videos for a few months now. Let me tell you in the two ways I know how, to be concise and not to bore you with a speech (although it may have been necessary). you are very good at explaining and the presentations you make are highly recommended, I wish I knew English in the most fluent way to understand at first the Obsiadian.md subject you deal with!!!!!
I installed your mods to AnuPpuccin and have been finding myself using it frequently. 🙂I appreciate the work you put into the mods and the video. I was wondering if you could help me make 3 changes to the light theme. I would like to make the milky overlay less, that is, more transparent. I'd also like to make the note text font a bit darker. Both of these would help my old eyes see things better. Is there a way to make these changes?
Love it!
Installed it. Love it! But my list of files is not showing the rainbow colours :(
No rainbow folders? Try restarting Obsidian. Also, you do have folders right? The files won't be rainbow-colored.
@@linkingyourthinking I restarted but no luck. Yes I do have folders.
I love this theme. I have followed the instructions and managed to get everything installed. The only thing that bugs me is that the folder colors repeat, like the red one is twice and then the teal one three times before another color is used. Is there any way to change this? So that each color is used only once before it starts repeating?
The font does not exist for windows 11 sadly, is there a similar replacement that I can use?
In the comments, we've figured out your best options are Times, Cambria, or Times New Roman
Ok, nice but how do you get the "rainbow" folders?
To answer your question I have 2 themes that have been serving me well: Prime and Muted Blue
definitely not going to check them out rn
How did you change from light mode to dark mode with shortcut? For the theme change I believe you used Theme Picker is that right?
Thanks so much for sharing this; it is a very beautiful theme I will install, currently, I use "Shiba Inu" Sadly It is no longer supported by it's creator but is a really nice one too, I would recommend using it too
Thanks for sharing!
Is there a way to install the New York font on the phone too?
hey guys! is there any way for me to install the New York font in my windows pc? thanks for the help!
I think Times New Roman is the consensus alternative
I can follow you better now that you are calming down. Personally, dark themes are much more chill than light themes. Is there some way that I could remove the overly flashy yellow in LYT dark view and highlight the folder that I am using without confusing yellow on other folders. I wish your LYT theme had more of the calm vibe. The over use of bright yellow bothers me the most in your LYT theme. A less vibrant color would help. Is there some way for me to use the style setting plugin to make that change?
It would be amazing to have Style Settings options for LYT Mode. That's beyond my abilities, but if someone out there magically wanted to help, that'd be pretty cool
Thanks!!!!!!
When I'm scrolling the color is changing in the menu bar on the Soft Paper Theme. Has anybody a fix for this?
Yeah, I've notice that Rainbow Folders acts strangely when scrolling through long vertical lists. I'm not aware of a fix
@@linkingyourthinking One user wrote: The reason is that Obsidian loads as you scroll. Once you scroll pass an initial length, the element will be removed.
Say you have 100 folders and only folders within the range of 20 is loaded. So when you scroll to folder #21, folder #1 will be removed from UI, and the 1st index (color Red) will now be assigned to folder #2 (before it is color Orange because it has index 2). - so I think until now just collapse unneeded folders while scrolling to avoid the color change :)
What kind of sans serif font do you use for Obsidian (menus left and right)?
I've tried countless and settled on Open Sans
@@linkingyourthinking Thank you 👍The font is really very clean and beautiful.
@@AvniBilgin Glad you have good taste ;)
I was already running anupuccin, and added this, which looks nicer, except.... I already had Rainbow folders working and that has somehow disappeared.
Weird, thanks for noting that. I wonder what's causing that. It's almost like the rainbow settings are canceling each other out or something. Maybe others will know more...
I'm relatively new to Obsidian. I watched Nick Milo's beginners play list - Excellent. Installed the Anuppucin theme. Its great. Just one major problem, now my vertical SCROLL BAR is missing. (I'm on a PC, and can still scroll using the arrow keys, but thats a pain). Can anyone suggest how to get it back, WITHOUT having to uninstall this beautiful theme.
I think I have your solution. Go to...Settings » Style Settings » AnuPpuccin » Show/Hide Ul Elements » Hide Scrollbars ... It's currently toggled on, so try toggling it off.
@@linkingyourthinking Issue sorted. Your solution fixed the problem. Many thanks.
@@linkingyourthinking Settings » Community Plugins » Style Settings ... Thank you for theme!
Does anyone have font recommendations for Linux? I use Zorin, a distro based on Ubuntu.
Can't install New York, so I'm looking for substitutes or tips.
hello This font is not working on windows, is it ?
In the comments, we've figured out your best options are Times, Cambria, or Times New Roman
how do i do this for windows?
how to add the font in windows. ??
how to install newyork font in windows?.
On Windows it is possible to install the font by opening the Apple Installer package in 7zip and then drilling down the actual font files (there are a whole bunch of them), extracting them, then selecting all fonts and right-clicking and "Install" or "Install for all users". However, the font does not look the same for me as it does on Nick's screen. Regular text appears much thinner and not comfortably readable, even when zoomed in. The font possibly needs different configuration on Windows, or as @harikrishnasuku has said, maybe a different font recommendation for Windows.
@@blynes1976 Hey could you please check if the applied font works in reading mode? When I toggle reading mode from editing mode the old font appears.
@@harikrishnasuku Same happens for me, switches back to the default font when you go into reading mode.
@@blynes1976 Hmm, let me see if that's fixable on my end...
Would Cambria be a decent alternative to recommend?
@@linkingyourthinking Regarding the font readability on Windows, I think I have solved that. If you change the font in Style Settings to "New York Small", or "New York Medium" (depending on preference) rather than "New York", then it looks much more like your setup Nick. This doesn't solve the switch back to default on Reading Mode though.
Is there a way to make it stop changing the colors of the left menu when you scroll through your folders? It is extremely distracting and no idea what the point of it even is.
I agree, but I don't think there is a way just yet
Belíssimo tema
In terms of typobraphy, serif typefaces are more readable. People should have opinions about what they like, but that's the case.
Thanks for sharing. Some serifs I wonder about that, but on the whole, I'm sure serif beat san serifs on the technical aspects of readability
Anyone knows where to download the font. Im a windows user :)
Check the other comments, but the best answer is to use Times New Roman
@@linkingyourthinking Thx :)
😍😍😍😍

HI. Quiero leerte en mi idioma, español. Considera, por favor, agregar subtitulos en múltiples idiomas. Abrazos desde 🇨🇴 Colombia
I'll try to learn how and see how much work it is, but would love to be able to offer that.
@@linkingyourthinking Con herramientas de inteligencia artificial no creo que implique mucho trabajo. Active las campanas, quedo atento a todo lo que usted comparta sobre Obsidian.
All was good until it became mac-centric.
use Times New Roman and you're fine
@@linkingyourthinking That'll probably take a deep dive for Linux.
@@linkingyourthinking Found the font-change settings, it's all warm and wonderful here now with Berkshire Swash and rainbow folders.
i didnt like that the folder had the same colors repeaded for the first two and then the last 4 of mine so i played around with the colores and got the darkmode to look better
