# Visual Customization

Apply during scaffold. This makes the file explorer color-coded by folder type and adds custom callout styles.

## CSS Snippet

Create this file at `.obsidian/snippets/vault-colors.css` inside the vault:

```css
:root {
  --wiki-1: #4fc1ff;
  --wiki-2: #c586c0;
  --wiki-3: #dcdcaa;
  --wiki-4: #ce9178;
  --wiki-5: #6a9955;
  --wiki-6: #d16969;
  --wiki-7: #569cd6;
}

/* Folder colors in file explorer */
.nav-folder-title[data-path^="wiki/domains"]     { color: var(--wiki-1); }
.nav-folder-title[data-path^="wiki/entities"]    { color: var(--wiki-2); }
.nav-folder-title[data-path^="wiki/concepts"]    { color: var(--wiki-3); }
.nav-folder-title[data-path^="wiki/sources"]     { color: var(--wiki-4); }
.nav-folder-title[data-path^="wiki/questions"]   { color: var(--wiki-5); }
.nav-folder-title[data-path^="wiki/comparisons"] { color: var(--wiki-6); }
.nav-folder-title[data-path^="wiki/meta"]        { color: var(--wiki-7); }
.nav-folder-title[data-path=".raw"]              { color: #808080; opacity: 0.6; }

/* Custom callouts */
.callout[data-callout='contradiction'] {
  --callout-color: 209, 105, 105;
  --callout-icon: lucide-alert-triangle;
}
.callout[data-callout='gap'] {
  --callout-color: 220, 220, 170;
  --callout-icon: lucide-help-circle;
}
.callout[data-callout='key-insight'] {
  --callout-color: 79, 193, 255;

.callout[data-callout='stale'] {
  --callout-color: 128, 128, 128;

## How the Callouts Look

Use these in wiki pages to flag important states:

```markdown
> [!contradiction] Title
> [[Page A]] claims X. [[Page B]] says Y. Needs resolution.

> [!gap] Title
> This topic has no source yet. Consider finding one.

> [!key-insight] Title
> The most important takeaway from this section.

> [!stale] Title
> This claim may be outdated. Source was from 2022.
```

## Minimal Theme (Recommended)

The color scheme looks best with the Minimal theme. Install via Settings > Appearance > Manage > search "Minimal".
