Compline

Compline

A contemplative theme for Obsidian, based on the Compline color palette.

About

Compline is designed for focused, distraction-free writing with carefully selected muted colors that are easy on the eyes during extended use.

The theme includes two variants:

• Compline (Dark) - A deep, warm dark theme for nighttime contemplation
• Lauds (Light) - A soft, warm light theme for daytime use

Both themes share the same carefully crafted palette designed for readability and visual harmony.
