Owen Graphite

A quiet Obsidian theme for technical notes, knowledge work, and report-ready PDFs.

Give your writing, tables, code, settings, and exported documents one calm graphite surface—without making every part of your workspace compete for attention.

Features

For your workflow What Owen Graphite brings
Write and review Balanced Korean/English typography, document spacing, code blocks, callouts, and dense tables across Live Preview and Reading View.
Navigate your vault Restrained tabs, file-explorer treatments, wrapped title/metadata tooltips, search, settings, and workspace controls.
Prepare reports PDF header/footer labels, page numbering, selected-paper readability presets, and page-break guards.
Tune your workspace Style Settings options for typography, spacing, PDF layout, workspace chrome, and accessibility.
Work in either mode A consistent light/dark theme for desktop and mobile Obsidian.

Theme first. Plugins when you need them. Owen Graphite owns the visual theme. Persistent code-title editing, code copying, and canonical Frosted ScrollArea controls are provided by Owen Editor—not by installing the theme alone.

Quick start

Install from Obsidian

  1. Open Settings → Appearance → Themes → Manage.
  2. Search for Owen Graphite and install it.
  3. Enable the theme and choose your preferred light or dark mode.

Install the optional Style Settings plugin to adjust report, typography, spacing, and workspace options.

  1. Open the latest release.
  2. Download the installable theme package. Release 3.1.102 provides Owen-Graphite-3.1.102.zip.
  3. Extract it into <YourVault>/.obsidian/themes/Owen Graphite/ with manifest.json and theme.css directly inside.
  4. Select Owen Graphite under Settings → Appearance → Themes.

GitHub's generated Source code (zip) is the repository archive, not the installable theme package.

Add-on Install it when you need
Style Settings Access to typography, layout, PDF, and workspace settings.
Owen Graphite Companion Korean Style Settings locale fallback or structured title/metadata tooltips.
Owen Editor Persistent code-title editing, copying, editing commands, and Frosted ScrollArea controls.

The Graphite 3.1.99 release includes Owen-Graphite-Companion-1.3.0.zip. Extract its owen-graphite-style-settings-l10n folder into .obsidian/plugins/, reload Obsidian, and enable Owen Graphite Companion.

Choose Settings → Style Settings → Owen Graphite → Interface → Language for the locale preference. The companion does not change Style Settings data.json or edit Markdown. Owen Editor stores code titles in fenced Markdown as title="...".

Everyday workflow

  1. Write naturally. Use Markdown, tables, callouts, and code blocks in Live Preview or Reading View.
  2. Adjust once. Choose typography, spacing, and report settings from Settings → Style Settings → Owen Graphite.
  3. Review the output. Export a PDF and check the selected paper size, labels, and page breaks before sharing.

Start with the Style Settings presets rather than rebuilding recurring layouts.

Compatibility and boundaries

  • The theme is not an editing plugin. The screenshots include optional Owen Editor tools.
  • The companion does not edit Markdown. It provides locale fallback and tooltip structure.
  • Settings are optional. Style Settings exposes advanced controls, but the theme must still be enabled.
  • Review before delivery. Screen appearance and PDF output are separate surfaces.
