Colored Candy

Colored Candy

This is a cute lil' theme for Obsidian that changes the interface colors based off of your chosen accent color.

You can choose your accent color in Obsidian under Settings → Appearance → Accent color.

This theme will change the background colors according to your accent color's hue, and create two new psuedo accent colors with their hues offset from the original, and calculating their saturation and lightness from the original.

This theme has a few configurable options accessible through the Style Settings plugin.

If you see anything that looks broken and needs fixing, please create an issue so that I know to fix it.

PLEASE NOTE:

This theme is intentionally low-contrast. However, I will try to keep this theme accessibility-friendly as best I can. If anything is too difficult for you to read at default settings, create an issue, and I'll see what I can do.

Additionally, if you cannot stand the lack of contrast, I added a Style Settings option for Background-to-text contrast.
