Owen Graphite — Obsidian Theme

Owen Graphite v3.1.99 is a liquid-glass Obsidian theme for technical documentation, knowledge bases, and report-ready notes, giving Korean/English typography, long tables, code blocks, workspace chrome, Style Settings controls, and PDF export layouts one calm graphite surface across Live Preview, Reading View, and print.

Theme-first, optional companion: Owen Graphite keeps its Style Settings schema and English/Korean metadata inside the theme. Owen Graphite Companion 1.3.0 supplies the Style Settings locale fallback and structures Obsidian's title/metadata tooltips for wrapped bold titles. Persistent code-title editing, code copying, and canonical Frosted ScrollArea controls are available through Owen Editor 0.6.34.

2. Latest Highlights

Install the Style Settings plugin to unlock the report, typography, spacing, PDF, and workspace polish controls referenced below.

v3.1.99 — macOS Chrome And Code Alignment

This release clarifies workspace interaction states and keeps macOS scroll and code controls on their intended channels.

v3.1.98 — Precise Scroll And Vault Alignment

This release restores the canonical Frosted ScrollArea material and places workspace scroll controls and vault actions on their intended channels.

v3.1.97 — Canonical Scroll And Code Controls

This release connects Owen Editor's canonical Frosted ScrollArea to Obsidian vertical viewports, removes the theme's native scrollbar approximation, and tightens code-block and vault action controls.

v3.1.96 — PDF And Explorer Clarity

This release removes fixed screen-delivery/report-mode branches, keeps PDF readability independent from paper size, and turns long file-explorer labels plus folder metadata into one coherent tooltip surface.

v3.1.95 — Reliable Style Settings Localization

This release restores Owen Graphite's language selector when Obsidian is Korean but Style Settings cannot resolve its legacy locale key, and fills the new Interface heading's semantic icon tile.

v3.1.94 — Semantic Settings Cards

This release aligns Obsidian's core settings plus Owen Graphite, Owen Editor, and Owen Exporter with the same grouped-card language used by Owen Mermaid while keeping each function visually distinct.

Older feature notes are kept in dev/WIKI/DOCS/v3/feature-history.md.

3. Installation Details

Option A — Obsidian Community Theme Browser

1. Open Settings → Appearance → Manage under Themes.
2. Search for Owen Graphite.
3. Install and enable the theme.

Option B — Manual ZIP Install

Download Owen-Graphite-3.1.99.zip from the latest release, then extract it into your vault theme folder.

After extraction, open Obsidian and select Owen Graphite from Settings → Appearance → Themes.

Release assets also include GitHub's generated Source code (zip). Use Owen-Graphite-3.1.99.zip for the installable theme package.

Optional Owen Graphite Companion

Download Owen-Graphite-Companion-1.3.0.zip from the same release when Style Settings needs the Korean locale fallback or when you want wrapped title/metadata tooltips to use the full Owen Graphite hierarchy. Extract its owen-graphite-style-settings-l10n folder into:

<YourVault>/.obsidian/plugins/owen-graphite-style-settings-l10n/

Reload Obsidian, enable Owen Graphite Companion under Community plugins, then choose Settings → Style Settings → Owen Graphite → Interface → Language. The companion preserves tooltip text while separating a wrapped bold title from metadata, and it leaves Style Settings data.json unchanged.

Optional Code-Title Editing

The companion does not edit Markdown. To edit fenced code-block titles directly in Live Preview or Reading View, install Owen Editor 0.6.28 or later. Owen Editor stores the title in Markdown:

```bash title="Package update"
winget upgrade
```

Option C — Git Install Or Update

Clone into .obsidian/themes/Owen Graphite/. Running the same command again updates the theme.

Windows (PowerShell)

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
$Vault = "D:\Path\To\YourVault"            # replace with your vault path
$Repo = "https://github.com/towishy/Owen-Graphite.git"
$ThemesDir = Join-Path $Vault ".obsidian\themes"
$ThemeDir = Join-Path $ThemesDir "Owen Graphite"

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $ThemesDir | Out-Null

if (Test-Path -LiteralPath (Join-Path $ThemeDir ".git")) {
  git -C "$ThemeDir" fetch --quiet origin main
  git -C "$ThemeDir" reset --quiet --hard origin/main
  git -C "$ThemeDir" clean -qfd
  Write-Host "OK: Owen Graphite updated."
} elseif (Test-Path -LiteralPath $ThemeDir) {
  $Backup = "${ThemeDir}.backup-$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd-HHmmss')"
  Move-Item -LiteralPath $ThemeDir -Destination $Backup
  git clone --quiet $Repo "$ThemeDir"
  Write-Host "OK: Owen Graphite reinstalled. Backup: $Backup"
} else {
  git clone --quiet $Repo "$ThemeDir"
  Write-Host "OK: Owen Graphite installed."
}

macOS / Linux (bash)

set -e
VAULT="/path/to/YourVault"                  # replace with your vault path
REPO="https://github.com/towishy/Owen-Graphite.git"
THEME_DIR="$VAULT/.obsidian/themes/Owen Graphite"
mkdir -p "$VAULT/.obsidian/themes"

if [ -d "$THEME_DIR/.git" ]; then
  git -C "$THEME_DIR" fetch --quiet origin main
  git -C "$THEME_DIR" reset --quiet --hard origin/main
  git -C "$THEME_DIR" clean -qfd
  echo "OK: Owen Graphite updated."
elif [ -e "$THEME_DIR" ]; then
  BACKUP="$THEME_DIR.backup-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
  mv "$THEME_DIR" "$BACKUP"
  git clone --quiet "$REPO" "$THEME_DIR"
  echo "OK: Owen Graphite reinstalled. Backup: $BACKUP"
else
  git clone --quiet "$REPO" "$THEME_DIR"
  echo "OK: Owen Graphite installed."
fi
