I wrote Minimal theme. BTW, I led the redesign of Obsidian 1.0 so I brought a lot of those ideas into the core app. We've also made a big push around using more native components. I'm still improving Minimal, but hopefully the "out of the box" experience feels a lot more native.
Wow! It’s a shame it’s not highlighted in release notes! Great news, and thank you for your work!
This should be universal advice for everything.
Also, you can change the cursor by going to Style Settings > Minimal Advanced Options
This might be the CSS? (I am not a CSS guy, sorry.)
cursor: pointer;
Edit: Ah I see. You're suggesting installing the "Style Setting" plugin, installing and changing the theme to "Minimal" and then setting the "Cursor style" to "Pointer".
I mean. This is what v1.0 is for.
- Don't rush to install a bunch of plugins. Start with the defaults, learn Obisidian and add only what you need. It is easy for some to spend more time tweaking Obsidian than actually using it.
- If you're a macOS user, check out the Minimal theme, which will make Obsidian feel more native. -> https://minimal.guide/Home
- When you are ready for plugins, you may want Omnisearch[1] to be one of your first.
I used to organize stuff into folders, now I pretty much just create a note at the vault's root level and use tagging and good semantics and use Omnisearch to pull up notes.
