Installation

Obsidian's dark mode is Night and its light mode is Paper; the theme follows Appearance → Base color scheme.

1. Open Settings → Appearance → Themes → Manage, search for Living Code and click Install and use.
2. Without the directory: copy manifest.json and theme.css from the repository root into <vault>/.obsidian/themes/Living Code/, then pick Living Code under Appearance → Themes.

Frost and Signal are dark flavors, so they ship as CSS snippets rather than as a Style Settings option, which would need a second plugin: copy snippets/living-code-frost.css or snippets/living-code-signal.css into <vault>/.obsidian/snippets/ and enable it under Appearance → CSS snippets.

Flavors

Night and Paper include full-size previews below. Frost and Signal are optional dark-mode CSS snippets.

Night · Dark · full palette

Set Appearance → Base color scheme to Dark. Disable the Frost and Signal snippets to use Living Code Night.

Frost · Dark · softer chroma

Set the base color scheme to Dark, copy snippets/living-code-frost.css to <vault>/.obsidian/snippets/, and enable it under Appearance → CSS snippets. Disable the other Living Code snippet.

Paper · Light · near-white slate

Set Appearance → Base color scheme to Light. Disable the Frost and Signal snippets to use Living Code Paper.

Signal · Dark · teal accent

Set the base color scheme to Dark, copy snippets/living-code-signal.css to <vault>/.obsidian/snippets/, and enable it under Appearance → CSS snippets. Disable the other Living Code snippet.

Configuration

See Obsidian's documentation for application settings and reload behavior. The activation instructions above identify each supported flavor; keep your other application configuration.

Compatibility

The theme manifest retains version 1.0.0 and minAppVersion 1.0.0. Night and Paper follow Obsidian's base color scheme; Frost and Signal are optional dark-mode snippets. The existing Living Code community-theme and release identities are preserved.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. Keep this README, port.json and images/ in sync, and use real screenshots of the app, never mockups.
