Achmage Atelier

Validate theme

A minimal Obsidian theme inspired by Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines, with refined light and dark modes.

A quieter place to read

  • Neutral light and dark surfaces with blue accents and gently separated panels.
  • Embedded Pretendard Variable for Korean and Latin text. No font installation or network connection required.
  • Considered typography for headings, quotes, properties, links, code, tables and tasks.
  • Consistent search results, command palettes, menus, settings and keyboard focus.
  • Compact mobile navigation, scalable UI text and focus-aware current-line highlighting.
  • Restrained translucent palettes and menus, with an optional opaque-surface snippet.
  • Optional Notebook Navigator styling. Minimal, Minimal Theme Settings and Style Settings are not required.

Install

This theme is currently distributed through GitHub Releases. It has not yet been listed in Obsidian's community theme directory.

  1. Download theme.css and manifest.json from the latest release.
  2. Inside your vault, create .obsidian/themes/Achmage Atelier/.
  3. Place both files in that folder.
  4. In Obsidian, open Settings → Appearance → Themes, then select Achmage Atelier.
  5. Use Obsidian's base color scheme setting to choose light or dark.

An installable ZIP is also provided in each release. Extract its Achmage Atelier folder into .obsidian/themes/.

To use the embedded font, leave Obsidian's interface and text font overrides empty. Your existing font overrides, accent color and CSS snippets can affect the appearance.

Prefer opaque surfaces?

Copy Atelier Opaque Surfaces.css into .obsidian/snippets/, refresh the snippet list in Settings → Appearance, and enable it. No settings plugin is needed.

The theme also responds to reduced-motion, increased-contrast and reduced-transparency media preferences where the host exposes them.

  • Mobile layouts additionally checked using Obsidian's Windows mobile emulation; this is not an iOS or Android device test.

See community review preflight for the official scanner checks and remaining compatibility warnings.

Development

Requires Node.js 22.12+ and npm.

npm ci
npm run build
npm run check

Edit src/, then rebuild theme.css. The build embeds the bundled font and does not download assets. npm run check runs Obsidian's official Stylelint configuration and verifies the distributable, licenses and local asset references.
