This repository offers a collection of CSS snippets designed to enhance the user interface of Obsidian, specifically when used with the Minimal Theme. It targets Obsidian power users and hackers seeking a more compact and visually harmonized experience across various plugins. The primary benefit is a cleaner, more efficient, and aesthetically consistent Obsidian workspace.

How It Works

The project leverages custom CSS to override default Obsidian styles and integrate the appearance of numerous community plugins with the Minimal Theme. It prioritizes a compact UI, hiding or minimizing non-essential elements like headers, chevrons, and margins. The snippets are regularly updated to maintain compatibility with recent Obsidian versions and plugin changes, often utilizing newer CSS features like container queries.
