Is the font you mentioned available outside of the Applesphere (I'm a Linux user)?

[@linkingyourthinking]

@@torspedia I think so, but it may take extra steps. As an alt, try Cambria or Times. Or Times New Roman.

Thank you for the video Nick! For some reason, the New York font wasn't applied to Reading view, only the Live Edit view, but when I added the New York font to Options->Appearance->Font->Text Font, it was applied to all views. Cool!

[@linkingyourthinking]

You cracked the code! Others were curious about this yesterday, and this is the solution, thank you.

[@matthewarmstrong4999]

@@linkingyourthinking I had the same question, thanks @chadarmstrong! The only catch with this fix is that it makes New York the default font for all Themes (unless I'm doing something wrong). So it makes the context switching between Prism and Soft Paper less seamless. Is this something we would have to ask the AnuPpuccin developer to "fix"?

Beautiful tweak for the AnuPpuccin theme! Really like the New York font with this too. Pro tip: there is an Obsidian command built in for "Change Theme", which makes it super-easy to switch back and forth between themes, as the mood suits you!

[@linkingyourthinking]

Thanks Joel. And yes, great tip. Just hit cmd-p (or ctrl-p on Windows), start typing "change", hit enter and change themes.

[@dronkyoda]

Watched this video yesterday and if you hadn’t figured it out: It’s called AnuPpuccin from the (mostly Unix) catppuccin theme and it follows that color palette very closely! I think this is the same Anu (from Anubis (DLC Unlocker dude?) + ppuccin (from Catppucin)!

[@RebrandSoon0000]

Found your video via searching for Obsidian and am happy to see someone this versed and informative. I love the AnuPpuccin theme because it separates all the different elements that Obsidian has and makes even folders, nice to look at.

Alternate Font for Windows: consider Times or Times New Roman for a similar New York style. Both came pre-installed with Windows.

[@linkingyourthinking]

Times, Times New Roman, or Cambria seem to be the most suggested so far, thanks for these.

Thank you. Love your theme. Installed it and will use it. For me themes are more a way to keep things interesting. I work in a dry technical field - managing a team of technical analysts and looking at numbers all day or build data systems and processes so anything that triggers a creative streak is welcome! I used to use notion but the lack of themes forced to me stop using it.

[@linkingyourthinking]

[@RachelRamey]

I have three different themes, because I have three different vaults so, like you said, it helps immediately identify which one I'm in. I have one for recipes, one that's an inventory of my papercrafting supplies, and then my regular Obsidian vault. For my regular vault, I'm currently using Dayspring, with some custom color tweaks. But I actually chose it for very much the same reasons you designed the one in your video (I have a softened background so it's not so harsh a contrast, with some bolder color for heading, etc. for visibility at a glance), so I'm probably going to switch. My recipe vault is Maple. It's also pretty simple, without too many bells and whistles, but it makes the overall vault turquoise so it's really easy to tell apart from my main vault. And my inventory database is pretty utilitarian, so it's just set to the default theme.

[@odebroqueville]

Beautiful theme, Nick. Thank you. I now need to find a dark theme that is just as enjoyable.

[@callmejobson]

I liked the Prism and Anuppucin themes thank you!! I think I will try out Prism for my work vault and Anuppucin for my personal vault

The theme I am using right now is Primary, a theme that won the official award for best theme back in 2021 I think, it got abandoned but the dev recently got back to it and now is available again! It also has that soft paper warm cozy feel. I use it with the noir pro font, a bit chunky but imo pairs perfectly with the theme.

[@linkingyourthinking]

Thanks for sharing. I remember Primary and the creator, good stuff

[@salsaverdegamer]

Thanks so much. This is a beautiful theme!! Great work

[@linkingyourthinking]

[@twistdeads]

I find the concept of having different themes for different tasks and mindsets very interesting because I cannot relate to it at all. Having one centralized and global "feel" that I recognize and feel at home with is key for me. Instead I gravitate towards hiding elements and using "focus modes" for different mindsets, for example using the Typewriter plugin + hiding all UI elements other than my current note. I really appreciate how you articulate and explain the reasoning behind your setup, because even if our approaches differ it makes me think and articulate my reasoning which in turn deepens my understanding of why I prefer some things over others.

[@sebastiank.3894]

I like to use the Things theme for its custom bullet list symbols that allow me at a glace to see, whether a note I made covers e.g. an idea (light bulb) or a question (question mark), or an issue (fire). I am using this to track my thoughts on my work projects.

[@DougSmith-z3v]

From the very beginning the only Obsidian theme that's really worked for me is the legacy theme Pisum. I believe "legacy" implies that it is no longer being developed/supported. A pity, since it struck me as such a warm, inviting place to work in from the moment I first installed it and has never lost its appeal. Pisum simply gets out of the way and lets my mind get lost in the content. But Soft Paper is a new fave. Thanks.

Although I use Obsidian all day, I had never thought of the effect of changing themes to change mental context. Very interesting. It's a shame you can't have variations of the same theme at the same time as I'm already using a heavily modified version of annuPpuccin. Thanks Nick

[@linkingyourthinking]

I agree. It would be nice to stick with a theme we're already most comfortable with and just have a few variations.

[@davehein1418]

Nice. Thanks for this. I'm using the dark version of the theme and that required tweaking the colors a bit. But I found a good combo and really like it. About the New York font -- it is pretty sweet, but doesn't work well outside of the apple-verse. When I copied the fonts to Linux they did not render well at all (very thin). But on my system there was a font called Noto Serif and I found that works will. But how to get a shared vault to work across macOS and Linux? You can specify multiple fonts in the settings. Changing the Font Family settings for Live Preview and Reading modes to: "New York","Noto Serif" works great ... on my macOS it finds New York and uses it ... on my Linux system it doesn't find New York so it looks for Noto Serif, finds it, and uses it. Having said that, I don't think we are supposed to be using "New York" in this way. Looking at the license for that font, Apple says its use is restricted to making designs and mockups of products to be delivered on Apple devices; it is not licensed for general use. That said, you can probably get away with it for personal use, but there are plenty of quite good serif fonts out there that you can use instead. So I'll be switching to a different serif font on macOS, real soon now.

Unable to install NewYork font. Do you have an alternative font for Windows machine?

[@harikrishnasuku]

Does this font work on reading mode as well? Looks like for me in editing mode it works but not in reading mode.

[@linkingyourthinking]

What do you think about Cambria for Windows?

[@linkingyourthinking]

​@@harikrishnasuku Same, but found the solution for you. Go to Settings > Appearance > Text Font > Manage and add New York (or your serif font of choice there). If you've added any other fonts this way, make sure your serif font is at the top. Then voila, Reading Mode will render that font. (I tried doing this through the Style Settings for AnuPpucchin, but it doesn't have an option for Reading Mode.)

[@musikkimies]

Cambria is nice. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@linkingyourthinking]

Happy to hear it works for you

[@samuelitooooo]

I recently switched to the Border theme because it gives me the color that I want (colored headers, bold, italic, etc. which helps me when scanning long texts) as well as the focus and anti-distractions that I need: a highlighted center panel, auto-hiding buttons and tab bars, stuff like that. It replaced another theme whose functionality I liked - but I couldn't figure out how to change the background color, which actually gave it kind of a depressing vibe. I'll have to revisit this video though, because I want to think more about having multiple themes ready for different states of mind. Until now I would uninstall themes and plugins I don't need because it slows down start-up time (which affects my retention of quick/rough/fleeting notes). I've been avoiding relying on another app for that, but it looks like I'll have to keep it in my toolset.

[@akg9549]

To all those windows obsidian users, 1dt theme doesn't look as colourful as MAC in windows, instead of light mode use dark mode which in windows is better suited for them. and new york font is not in windows typography

[@mikklint]

Your theme Soft Paper is an amazing improvement - gorgeous and easy on the eyes - many thanks, Nick! The only thing I will have to modify is to reduce the size of the note title font; since it's so big it's hard to have more than a few readable notes on the Canvas. Could you (or anyone else) just give a hint of which number(s) I should change to reduce the size of the note title font?

I'm using Obsidian Gruvbox. The off white background is kinder to my eyes

[@linkingyourthinking]

Interesting, thanks for sharing

[@tricky-vixen]

I use AnuPpuccin, but I find your Soft Paper styling with the colorful window and full rainbow folders to be still a bit too loud for my tastes. My styling is much more minimal, which makes it easy to transition between light and dark mode while retaining focus, but the colors are still soft so it brings me more calm. I did like your use of the New York font, though, and I think I’ll incorporate that into my style settings.

I've been pretty happy with the minimal theme (with the extended features) for its simplicity. Considering soft paper for when I try out the Ideaverse vault.

I can follow you better now that you are calming down. Personally, dark themes are much more chill than light themes. Is there some way that I could remove the overly flashy yellow in LYT dark view and highlight the folder that I am using without confusing yellow on other folders. I wish your LYT theme had more of the calm vibe. The over use of bright yellow bothers me the most in your LYT theme. A less vibrant color would help.

[@blynes1976]

On Windows it is possible to install the font by opening the Apple Installer package in 7zip and then drilling down the actual font files (there are a whole bunch of them), extracting them, then selecting all fonts and right-clicking and "Install" or "Install for all users". However, the font does not look the same for me as it does on Nick's screen. Regular text appears much thinner and not comfortably readable, even when zoomed in. The font possibly needs different configuration on Windows, or as @harikrishnasuku has said, maybe a different font recommendation for Windows.

@@linkingyourthinking Regarding the font readability on Windows, I think I have solved that. If you change the font in Style Settings to "New York Small", or "New York Medium" (depending on preference) rather than "New York", then it looks much more like your setup Nick.
