Lamplit

English · 简体中文

One theme, nine palettes. Pick a scheme for dark mode and another for light mode, from any palette you like.

Lamplit in Tuttomondo, Shanghai, Big Wave and Bauhaus

Get started

  1. Install Lamplit from Settings → Appearance → Themes → Manage.
  2. Install Style Settings from the Community Plugins list.
  3. Open Settings → Style Settings → Lamplit and pick a Dark Mode Scheme and a Light Mode Scheme.

Without Style Settings you get Wonderland, and no way to switch palettes.

Palettes

The nine palettes, each in dark and light

Palette Dark Light After
Wonderland Underground, Office District Lab Murakami's Hard-Boiled Wonderland: ink black and a single brass accent (original)
Merino Dark Light The Merino terminal themes: neutral grounds, GitHub Primer colors
Big Wave Pipeline Spray Tatsuro Yamashita's Big Wave: ocean navy, spray white, a coral title
Impression Havre Brume Monet's Impression, Sunrise: grey-green mist and one orange sun
Bauhaus Weimar Dessau The Bauhaus: three primaries, solid blocks, square corners
Shanghai Bund Wukang Shanghai across the Huangpu: river-ink ground, the Bund's gold, the Pearl's magenta
Tuttomondo Subway Pisa After the 1989 mural Tuttomondo in Pisa: heavy outlines, hard shadows, solid tags and highlights
TokyoNight Storm, Night, Moon Day The official tokyonight.nvim palette
Catppuccin Mocha, Macchiato, Frappé Latte The official Catppuccin palette

Features

  • Some palettes change shape, not just color: Bauhaus has square corners and solid highlights; Tuttomondo draws heavy outlines and hard shadows, with solid tags and highlights
  • Same look in Reading view and Live Preview: headings, code, tables, quotes, tags, highlights and links match
  • File type icons in the file explorer: notes, images, canvases, bases, PDFs, audio and video
  • Mermaid diagrams in your scheme's colors, in dark and light mode: flowcharts, sequence, pie, class, state, Gantt, ER, git and mindmap diagrams
  • Callouts: all 13 official types, each with its own color
  • Task states: x, /, -, >, ?, !, drawn as round checkboxes
  • Search highlights in a color of their own, apart from highlighted text and the selection
  • Chinese-first typography: PingFang SC → Hiragino Sans GB → Noto Serif SC

The Style Settings page also has four toggles: Hide Folder Icons, Hide File Icons, Color Folders and Use Default Mermaid Colors.

Good to know

  • The picture above has Color Folders on. It is off by default, and each scheme looks a little different when it is on.
  • Color Folders follows position, not name. Each top-level folder takes the next of 8 colors from the scheme, so a new top-level folder shifts the colors after it. In a long file list, Obsidian removes folders that are scrolled out of view, so the remaining ones renumber and can change color while you scroll. A theme cannot avoid this, because it only has CSS.
  • macOS context menus. Obsidian uses native system menus by default, and themes cannot style those. To see themed menus, turn off Settings → Interface → Advanced → Native menus.

Install by hand

  1. Download theme.css and manifest.json from the latest release.
  2. Put them in <your-vault>/.obsidian/themes/Lamplit/. The folder must be named exactly Lamplit: Obsidian silently skips a theme whose folder name differs from the manifest's name, even by case.
  3. Restart Obsidian and select Lamplit in Settings → Appearance → Themes.
