Slyde

Slyde allows you to control readable line length using a simple slider in the status bar. It improves readability by letting you adjust how wide your text appears in real time.

Features

• Adjustable line width via a status bar slider
• Real-time updates while dragging the slider
• Optional persistent width setting
• Automatically adapts to window resizing
• Quick reset to default width

Installation

Manual

1. Download the latest release files:

   • main.js
   • manifest.json
   • styles.css (if included)

2. Create a folder inside your vault:

   .obsidian/plugins/slyde
   

3. Place the files into that folder

4. Enable the plugin in Settings → Community Plugins

Usage

• Use the slider in the status bar to adjust line width
• Click the value button to reset to default
• Changes are applied instantly

Settings

• Default Line Length: Value used when resetting
• Current Line Length: Last used width
• Persistent Width: Prevents automatic resizing when the window changes size

How It Works

Slyde dynamically updates the following CSS variables:

• --line-width
• --file-line-width

These are applied to the document body to control the maximum readable line width.
