Milk Tea — Warm & Friendly Obsidian Theme

A warm, creamy Obsidian theme inspired by Claude's desktop palette. Designed to make your note-taking feel less clinical and more welcoming.

一款温暖的奶茶色 Obsidian 主题,灵感来自 Claude 桌面端的配色。让你的笔记空间不再冰冷,写字像手捧一杯热奶茶。

Companion to the Milk Tea VS Code theme — use both for a consistent warm workspace across writing and coding.

Features

  • Claude desktop palette — creamy beige background #FAF6F0, terracotta orange accent #D97757, never harsh white
  • Dark mode included — deep warm brown #2A2420 (not pure black), cozy for night writing
  • Polished UI details
    • Three-column hierarchy with clear visual weight
    • Rounded warm hover states for all icons (Claude.ai-style)
    • Thicker stroke icons (2px) in muted brown, terracotta on hover
    • Active file highlight in the file tree with accent bar
    • YAML frontmatter block with accent left border
    • Heading weight ladder (H1 bold 800 → H6 italic)
  • Matching syntax colors — code blocks use the same palette as the Milk Tea VS Code theme
  • Style Settings support — 8 user-configurable options (accent color, radius, fonts, size, line height, heading & bold weights). Install the Style Settings plugin and go to Settings → Style Settings → Milk Tea to customize.
  • Plugin compatibility — polished styling for Dataview, Kanban, Calendar, Tasks
  • Accessibility — visible focus outlines, prefers-reduced-motion honored
  • Mobile-friendly — adjusted type scale and spacing on phones/tablets
  • Recommended font — pairs beautifully with Maple Mono NF CN, falls back to JetBrains Mono / Consolas gracefully

Install

From Community Themes (once approved)

  1. Obsidian → Settings → Appearance → Themes → Manage
  2. Browse community themes → search Milk Tea
  3. Install → Apply
  1. Download manifest.json and theme.css from the latest release
  2. Place both files into <YourVault>/.obsidian/themes/Milk Tea/
  3. Obsidian → Settings → Appearance → Themes → select Milk Tea

Set the accent color

After applying the theme, Obsidian's user-level accent override may still show its default purple. Go to Settings → Appearance → Accent color and set it to:

  • Light mode: #D97757
  • Dark mode: #E8945A

(Obsidian's built-in "reset" button resets to its own default — not the theme's. Manually set the hex.)
