Hides visual noise and distractions across the interface.

• Sidebar toggle buttons, nav headers, tab headers, and other UI chrome are hidden unless hovered or focused.
• Tab bar dynamically hides when only a single tab is open.
• Status bar, backlinks, and file metadata are grayed and semi-transparent until hovered or focused.
• Optional always-hidden mode for the tab bar.
• Sidebar headers (tags, backlinks, outline, etc.) and graph controls are only visible on hover.
• Scrollbars, tooltips, flair, and instruction text are removed or minimized where possible.
• Improves spacing between headers and paragraphs for cleaner readability.

Use the cssclasses frontmatter property to apply scoped styles per note.

• Invert, grayscale, sepia, or blur images—with effects removed on hover.
• Align images or text left, right, center, or justify.
• Scale images smoothly on hover.
• Transform text to uppercase, lowercase, or capitalized.
• Switch text to monospace or apply specific font weights (thin to black).

💡 Tip: Create a note with all available styles applied to enable suggestions.

Tailor the theme's appearance and behavior through various toggles and sliders via the Style Settings plugin.

• Background Opacity — Adjust the transparency of the background mask (0–1).
• Minimal Image Captions — Toggle a cleaner, low-profile style for image captions (requires the Image Captions plugin).
• Show Header Levels — Choose to always display header levels or only on hover in preview mode.
• Show Header Hashtags — Optionally show # before headers in preview mode.
• Hide Header Link Underline — Remove underlines from linked headers for a sleeker look.
• Hide Tab Bar — Choose between dynamically hiding the tab bar, always hiding it, or never hiding it.
• De-emphasize UI Elements — Soften visual prominence of the status bar, file properties, and embedded backlinks in preview mode.
