Installation

Obsidian Community Themes

After Paper Ember is available in the Obsidian Community directory, search for Paper Ember under Settings → Appearance → Themes → Manage.

Manual installation

  1. Download the latest manifest.json and theme.css from Releases.
  2. Create a Paper Ember folder inside your vault's .obsidian/themes/ directory.
  3. Place both files in that folder.
  4. Select Paper Ember under Settings → Appearance → Themes.

The final directory should look like this:

your-vault/.obsidian/themes/Paper Ember/
├─ manifest.json
└─ theme.css

Customization

Style Settings is optional. When installed, it provides controls for the accent color, text size, line height, reading width, fonts, radii, and sidebar density. The theme works normally without it.

Fonts

Fonts selected in Obsidian's native interface, text, and monospace font settings take priority over the theme defaults.

Otherwise, Paper Ember uses Inter when it is installed and falls back to Noto Sans SC and platform Chinese fonts. Code surfaces prefer Cascadia Code, Cascadia Mono, JetBrains Mono, and platform monospace fonts. The theme does not download fonts from the network.

Compatibility

  • Minimum Obsidian version: 1.13.0
  • Light and dark modes are supported
  • Style Settings is optional
  • The theme is pure CSS and contains no runtime remote resources

Acknowledgements

  • Some component designs were inspired by Cupertino. Thanks to aaaaalexis for the thoughtful design work and for sharing it openly.
  • Thanks to Obsidian community reviewer saberzero1 for documenting the Obsidian 1.13 Callout color change and providing the compatibility fix in PR #3.

自定义

Style Settings 是可选插件。安装后可以调整主题强调色、文字大小、行高、阅读宽度、字体、圆角和侧边栏密度；不安装也不影响主题正常使用。

字体

Obsidian 原生设置中的界面字体、正文字体和等宽字体优先于主题默认值。

未单独指定时，Paper Ember 优先使用设备上已安装的 Inter，并回退到 Noto Sans SC 和系统中文字体。代码区域优先使用 Cascadia Code、Cascadia Mono、JetBrains Mono 和系统等宽字体。主题不会联网下载字体。
