Format-checked only2 files
Obsidian in reading view with Bigface: lime headings, orange list markers, a purple blockquote, a table, info and warning callouts and a highlighted code block on a dark green-gray background.
A real screenshot: Obsidian, Bigface applied.

Install

curl -fsSL https://bigface.qqntt.com/install.sh | sh -s -- obsidian
Writes Bigface's own file, prints the one line to add.

It never edits your config; it prints the one line you still need to add (or remove).Read the script first, or add --dry-run.

Or do it by hand
  1. Create <your vault>/.obsidian/themes/Bigface/ and put theme.css and manifest.json in it.
  2. Open Settings → Appearance → Themes and select Bigface.
