Ever looked at your beautiful, minimal, tastefully-monochrome note-taking app and thought: what this needs is a tiled starfield, Comic Sans, and a spinning globe?

Congratulations. You have found the right web page. 🔥

GeoCities '98 drags Obsidian back through a 56k modem to the golden age of the personal homepage. Light and dark. Best viewed in Netscape Navigator at 800×600.

GeoCities '98 for Obsidian

🎇 What u get (WOW!!)

  • 🌌 DARK MODE — a genuine tiled starfield on midnight #000022, glowing Comic Sans headings, neon cyan + magenta links, and gold H1s that SCREAM.
  • 🌞 LIGHT MODE — pale-yellow confetti wallpaper, navy Comic Sans, and a web-safe colour palette cranked to "my first homepage."
  • 〰️ Animated GIF dividers where your boring <hr> used to be.
  • 🚧 Blockquotes are under construction. All of them. Forever.
  • 🌍 A spinning globe sits proudly atop your file list.
  • 🔢 A hit counter and a flame live in your status bar. You've earned them.
  • 💾 Garish tag pills, Win98 bevelled buttons, ✦ sparkle bullet points.
  • 📣 A real scrolling [!marquee] callout. Type: 
    > [!marquee]
> Sign my guestbook! Best viewed in Netscape at 800x600!
    and get an honest-to-god CSS ticker banner. No JS. Some things never left 1998.

Every GIF and tile is baked into theme.css as a data: URI, so the whole thing is one self-contained file — nothing hotlinks, nothing rots, works offline. No FTP required. 📼

GIFs lovingly exhumed from the Internet Archive's gifcities.org, the real ashes of the original GeoCities.

💿 Install (manual — the way God and 1998 intended)

# copy the two files into your vault
cp theme.css manifest.json "<your vault>/.obsidian/themes/GeoCities 98/"

Then, inside Obsidian:

  1. Settings → Appearance → Themes → Manage → GeoCities 98
  2. Flip Settings → Appearance → Base color scheme between Light and Dark to switch flavours. Both are fully supported. 🎨

🛠️ Build (4 the webmasters)

The GIFs and tiles live in assets/. Edit theme.src.css — never theme.css directly — then re-bake:

python3 build.py

This inlines every asset from assets/ into theme.css as base64 data: URIs. Requires Python 3 with Pillow (pip install pillow) only if you regenerate the starfield tiles.

theme.src.css   ← you edit this
build.py        ← inlines assets → theme.css
theme.css       ← the finished, self-contained theme (~230 KB)
manifest.json   ← name + version for Obsidian
assets/         ← the raw GIFs + generated tiles
screenshot.png  ← 512×288 for the theme store
