Obsidian Typewriter

Typewriter Yellow is yellow version of the theme Typewriter which is an October-winning theme designed for a focused writing experience on Obsidian

Features

• Careful choice in fonts; monospace in the editor and semi-proportional in preview and UI
• Fonts have been base64 encoded, meaning you don't need to install them to use Typewriter
  • This means that the fonts used here are available on mobile
• Markdown formatting symbols are faded and shrunk, letting you focus on words instead
• Vim cursor support
• Long titles in the file explorer will soft-wrap
  • Useful for mobile and small displays
• Seamless embeds, without file titles
• Cool dark mode and warm light mode
• Compatibility with community plugins (see Plugin Compatibility)
• Compatibility with Obsidian Hub
• Highlight on the active line for focus
  • Currently unavailable in v2.0.0 (Obsidian version 0.16.0 onwards) -It's yellow. Yeah. Yellow, not green (pretty big stuff huh?)
