Elementra

Elementra

Your vault was never meant to feel ordinary.

Elementra is an atmospheric Obsidian theme built around six elemental worlds.

Open your vault and you don't simply choose a colour.

You choose a world.

🔥 Fire brings heat and energy.
💧 Water moves quietly through the interface.
🌪️ Wind keeps everything in motion.
🪨 Earth gives the workspace weight and structure.
⚡ Lightning brings speed and intensity.
🕳️ Void disappears into darkness and space.

Each element has its own colours, artwork, atmosphere, motion, and visual identity while remaining part of the same design system.

Six elements. One world. Your vault.

What's New

The latest Elementra update expands the original theme into a more complete elemental system.

Same six elements. A deeper system.

---

The Six Elements

Elementra currently contains six distinct elemental environments.

They are not simple colour presets. Each one has its own visual language and atmosphere.

---

Elemental Atmosphere

The updated version introduces subtle motion to each environment.

The motion is intentionally restrained so the interface remains practical for everyday work.

---

Elemental Details

Elementra extends its visual system across the Obsidian interface.

---

Elemental Sigils

Each element has its own sigil.

The sigils are used selectively across the interface, including:

• Lists
• Callouts
• Active tabs
• Menus
• Selected suggestions

They are intended to reinforce the identity of the current element without becoming visual clutter.

---

Elemental Interactions

Small interactions can change depending on the selected element.

---

Dark & Light

Elementra supports both Dark Mode and Light Mode.

Each mode has dedicated treatment for:

• Surfaces
• Elemental ink
• Halos
• Artwork
• Graphs
• Interactive elements
• Reading areas

Same world. Different light.

Changing the Element

Elementra uses the Style Settings community plugin to control the elemental system.

Style Settings is required if you want to switch between the six elements or customize the theme.

Install Style Settings

1. Open Obsidian.
2. Open Settings.
3. Select Community plugins.
4. Click Browse.
5. Search for Style Settings.
6. Install and enable it.

Then:

1. Open Settings → Style Settings.
2. Find Elementra.
3. Locate Elementra Element.
4. Select your preferred element.

Your notes, files, links, and vault structure remain unchanged.

Only the visual environment changes.

Design Philosophy

Your workspace should feel like a world.

Elementra treats the vault as an environment rather than a collection of interface components.

Notes become knowledge.

Folders become territories.

Links become pathways.

Tags become classifications.

Tasks become actions.

The graph becomes a network.

The element becomes the atmosphere around it.
