Book and Quill

Take notes like you're writing in a blocky survival game. Your notes sit in a leather-bound book on a dirt background, framed by inventory-style panels and written in a pixel font.

Light mode

What it looks like

  • Pixel Quill: an original 5×7 pixel font with bold, italic and monospace variants, embedded in the theme.
  • The book: each note sits in a leather cover with rounded corners, red binding stitches, stacked page edges and a dog-eared corner. Light mode has cream pages; dark mode has dark pages with drop-shadowed text.
  • The world: a darkened dirt background, like a game's options screen.
  • Inventory sidebars: grey bevelled panels. The open file sits in a slot, and folders are chests that open when expanded.
  • Colour-coded headings: headings use the game's colour palette, and links read like clickable chat text.
  • Inside your notes: ==highlights== shimmer like an enchantment, blockquotes are wooden signs, code is a black command-block field, tags are name tags and --- is a strip of grass.
  • Game-style controls: blocky buttons, toggles, sliders and scrollbars. Menus and tooltips look like item tooltips, and notices look like toasts.
  • Chat-bar prompts: the command palette and quick switcher pop up from the bottom like the chat bar.
  • Title screen: a new empty tab shows an OBSIDIAN logo in obsidian-block texture.

Dark mode

Tips

  • Keep the font size at 16 (Settings → Appearance), or 24/32. The pixel font is only perfectly crisp at multiples of 8.
  • Both light and dark mode are supported.

Companion plugin

The optional Book and Quill plugin adds:

  • XP for every word you write, with a level and XP bar
  • Advancement toasts
  • A "Page 1 of 3" counter with page-turn arrows
  • Splash text and rotating footer quips on the title screen
  • § colour codes
  • Click, page and level-up sounds

The theme works fine without it.
