Plain body text sits at var(--sw-slate-200) over the slate editor. Bold brightens toward #f1f5f9 so emphasis reads clearly. Italics shift muted toward var(--sw-slate-300).

About this theme

A CSS theme for Obsidian that applies the Slatewave palette to notes, editor, graph view, and UI chrome.

Slatewave for Obsidian treats your vault as a companion surface to the editor: same palette, same accents, same temperature. Optimized for long-form reading and writing rather than dense code.
