🖥️ Vintage Computer

A tactile, retro-computing inspired theme for Obsidian.

Vintage Computer brings back the soul of classic computing, retro workstations, and early graphical user interfaces into modern note-taking. Built with tactile window borders, CRT phosphor tones, mechanical-era typography, and an intelligent adaptive multi-row toolbar for fluid workspace productivity.

✨ Highlights

  • 📺 Classic Computing Aesthetic: Tactile window frames, nostalgic UI controls, and authentic retro workstation vibes.
  • 🎛️ Adaptive Multi-Row Toolbar: Editing toolbars dynamically wrap across multiple rows without clipping or awkward overflow.
  • 🎨 Dynamic OKLCH Color Engine: Pick your primary accent, and the theme automatically computes harmonious vintage palettes.
  • 👁️ Distraction-Free Focus: Clean workspace layout, vintage callouts, and retro-inspired typography.
  • ⚙️ Style Settings Ready: Deeply configurable toggles for borders, shadows, scanlines, and buttons via the Style Settings plugin.
