Rescriptor

v0.4b for Obsidian 1.3.7+

Rescriptor (Latin for "rewriter") is a reimplementation of Typewriter for post-1.0 Obsidian. The goal is to get the theme's aesthetics to be on-par with more recent ones, while packaging my own fixes and improvements to a handful of vanilla Obsidian's shortcomings.

Features:

• Soothing workspace colors, derived from Typewriter:
  • A creamy bright color scheme, reminiscent of file folders;
  • And a muted and grayish dim color scheme, similar to a journal (currently borrowed from Jotter);
• An immersive typing environment:
  • View headers and workspace ribbons fade into the background, until hovered upon;
    • View headers support Lost Paul's folder notes, indicating which directories have a corresponding note;
  • Consistent styling, free of visual oddities that may detract attention and focus from the work at hand;
  • Plugins like Auto Hide are recommended to further streamline the writing experience;
• Seamless typography:
  • iA Writer typeface, base64-encoded for use on any platform;
  • Redone header levels, with neat inline title integration;
    • h6 headers may be placed margin-side, useful for navigating via the Outline core plugin (inspired by Dayspring);
  • Improved callout sizing and content coloration;
    • Sleek icon positioning (from Listive);
    • Works best alongside by Metadata Callouts snippet, or something similar;
• Logical and ergonomic interface design:
  • Hierarchical strokes, weights, and colors for interactive elements;
  • Altered positioning of file explorer elements;
  • Smaller and buttonless pinned tabs to mitigate accidental closures;
  • Larger clickspace for workspace tabs and pane buttons (inspired by Buena Vista);

And some more on the way...

That "some more"...

The theme is a work-in-progress. There are still a good few things I've planned but yet to implement. Should anyone want to take a look, or even help, some drafts can be found in the respective directory; but be warned, these are really messy.
