The Pretty properties plugin transforms how frontmatter metadata appears by adding visual flair and interactivity. You can embed cover images, banners, and icons directly into the metadata area, with customizable shapes, placements, and sizes. It supports colorful styling for list values, tags, text fields, and even dates-allowing you to visually distinguish metadata at a glance. It also offers progress bars for number fields, relative date coloring, and clickable property values for instant search. For power users, it integrates with Bases (still experimental) and TaskNotes, syncing task counts into note properties. The plugin also includes several quality-of-life touches, like the ability to hide properties or apply custom CSS to pill elements.
The Combo Colors plugin enhances Obsidian by providing a color-coded notation system for fighting game combos. It allows users to apply different styles such as Arc System Works, modern alternative, and traditional formats, making it easier to read and organize complex input sequences. Users can wrap combo notations with custom delimiters, toggle between text and icon representations, and customize colors for better readability.
The Sidebar Highlights plugin enhances note-taking by providing a sidebar to view and manage text highlights and comments across your vault. It supports creating highlights with color coding using `==highlight==` syntax and native comments with `%%comment%%`. The sidebar organizes these elements by file, collection, tags, or color, making it easier to navigate and filter key insights. Users can create collections for cross-file highlights, quickly jump to specific highlights, and group them dynamically. It also integrates footnote-based comments for in-line annotations and offers commands for managing collections efficiently.
The Explorer Colors plugin allows users to customize the appearance of files and folders in Obsidian's Explorer by assigning individual colors. Users can right-click on any item to set a color, which can also cascade down to child items unless manually overridden. This enhances visual organization, making it easier to differentiate between notes and directories at a glance. Unlike CSS-based solutions, this plugin offers a more flexible and persistent way to manage colors without the need for manual updates when adding new files.
