Enhanced file explorer tree

An Obsidian theme that connects the items in the file explorer with tree lines, so you can see at a glance which files belong to which folder. Everything else stays Obsidian's default look.

Features

  • Connected tree lines: every item inside a folder branches off a vertical line, and the last item closes it with a corner, like a classic directory tree:

    Folder
├─ file
├─ folder
│  └─ file
└─ file

  • Follows Obsidian's layout: all positions come from Obsidian's own variables, so the lines stay aligned with other font sizes, zoom levels, deep nesting, on mobile and in the right sidebar.

  • Light and dark mode: the lines use Obsidian's indentation guide color and follow the mode you pick in Obsidian.

  • Minimal: nothing outside the file explorer is changed.

Customization

The theme has no settings of its own, but you can override its variables in a CSS snippet:

Variable Default Meaning
--eft-line-color Obsidian's indentation guide color Color of the lines
--eft-line-width 1px Thickness of the lines
--eft-stub-gap 4px Space between a branch and the folder arrow or file name

Example snippet:

body {
    --eft-line-color: var(--interactive-accent);
    --eft-line-width: 2px;
}

Troubleshooting

If the lines look wrong, please open an issue with a screenshot and your Obsidian version.
