Ayu Palette

Ayu Palette theme for Obsidian

An Obsidian theme inspired by the ayu theme.

The code is largely based on the taronull Obsidian Ayu theme which is no longer available.

Features

• Three palettes: Light, Mirage, Dark
• Configurable palette mapping for both Obsidian light mode and dark mode
• Typography:
  • Interface: System UI font stack
  • Text: Sentient
  • Code: Maple Mono

Install

1. Copy this folder to your vault themes directory:
   • VAULT/.obsidian/themes/Ayu Palette/
   • The folder name must match the theme name exactly (Ayu Palette) or Obsidian will not recognize it in Settings -> Appearance.
2. Ensure these files are in that folder:
   • theme.css
   • manifest.json
3. In Obsidian, go to Settings -> Appearance and select Ayu.

Variant Settings

Palette selectors are exposed through the Style Settings plugin:

• Install and enable Style Settings.
• Open Settings -> Style Settings -> Ayu Palette.
• Choose:
  • Light UI palette
  • Dark UI palette

Notes

• Font downloads:
  • Interface UI uses your system font stack, so no font download is required.
  • Sentient: download from Fontshare (Indian Type Foundry): https://www.fontshare.com/fonts/sentient.
  • Maple Mono: download from the official GitHub releases: https://github.com/subframe7536/maple-font/releases.
  • Install the fonts on your system, then restart Obsidian if needed.
• If Sentient or Maple Mono are not installed, theme fallbacks are used.
• After updating theme files, restart Obsidian or reload (Cmd+R).
