Monokai Syntax

Chinese README

Monokai Syntax is a Monokai Pro inspired theme for Obsidian. It is designed for code learning notes, long-form technical writing, and daily knowledge work where reading mode, Live Preview, file navigation, code blocks, callouts, Graph view, and Canvas should feel like one coherent workspace.

Monokai Syntax

Version

Current version: 1.1.5

Minimum Obsidian version: 1.0.0

What's New In 1.1.5

  • Added an animated accent underline to the active workspace tab.
  • Refined Live Preview line-number spacing so numbers sit cleanly in the editor padding without shifting text when disabled.
  • Improved blockquotes and Callouts with Monokai Pro semantic accents, balanced spacing, nested-state treatment, and clearer source markers.
  • Removed duplicate accent rails and conflicting embedded borders while editing Callouts.
  • Fixed task checkbox alignment and restored checkbox interaction in Reading mode.
  • Modularized visual component styles and expanded release regression checks.

Highlights

  • Monokai Pro inspired dark palette and a tuned Light palette.
  • Style Settings palette selector with Follow system, Pro, and Light.
  • CodeMirror 6 syntax colors mapped to a Monokai-style spectrum.
  • Reading mode and Live Preview share the same semantic spacing, typography, code, callout, blockquote, tag, task, table, and link variables.
  • File tree icons for common Markdown, project, configuration, code, and Obsidian-specific files.
  • First-level folders keep Obsidian's native folder chevrons; nested folders use the Monokai custom folder marker without duplicate icons.
  • Code learning callouts for concept, syntax, api, debug, pitfall, exercise, answer, source, output, and terminal.
  • Task states, API parameter tables, inline code, code blocks, Mermaid, Math, Dataview, embeds, images, tags, links, and footnotes are styled for technical notes.
  • Graph view, Canvas, Ribbon, tabs, modals, search, settings, and plugin surfaces follow the same theme tokens.
  • No runtime remote assets. The icon font is bundled as an inline WOFF resource.
