## Introduction and Plugins - [[Obsidian (software) | Obsidian]] is a highly customizable application, and its default interface can be transformed into a more personalized setup, such as the one being showcased, which is used for both work and personal life [(00:00:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=13s). - To start customizing Obsidian, the community plugins need to be enabled in the settings, allowing the installation of third-party plugins, such as the calendar plugin, which provides a visual presentation of the month and allows for journal creation [(00:00:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=38s). - The calendar plugin can be customized to display tags and nested tags, and clicking on a day creates a journal with the corresponding date and time [(00:01:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=62s). - The graph feature is also utilized, although its primary purpose is aesthetic, and it can be dragged to a smaller space on the screen [(00:01:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=98s). ## Themes and Appearance - To change the theme, the appearance settings are accessed, and one of the three preferred themes - Obsidianite, Blop, or [[Obsidian (software) | Obsidian]] Groove - can be selected, each offering better color coding for codes, inline codes, and titles [(00:01:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=118s). - The Obsidianite theme is used for demonstration purposes, showcasing its beautiful representation of line separators and color-coded code blocks [(00:02:05)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=125s). - The graph's visual aspects can be improved by turning on tags, attachments, and existing files, making it more visually appealing and functional [(00:02:46)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=166s). ## Enhancing Organization - The tags and nested tags panel can be set to display in a hierarchical order, making it easier to find [[Notes (Apple) | notes]] [(00:02:59)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=179s). - The folders and files section can be enhanced using third-party plugins, such as Iconize, File Color, and Color Tags, which allow for icon customization, folder and file color changes, and visual tag improvements [(00:03:23)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=203s). - The File Count plugin can also be installed, enabling the display of file counts for each folder, including nested folders [(00:04:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=296s). ## More Plugins -

The dashboard contains tasks created from across all notes, and everything undone appears in one place, using a simple query called "tasks" that extracts all tasks wherever they are mentioned, regardless of their status, and this query can be copied and pasted into any block of code to track tasks across all notes [(00:10:06)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=606s). - The query "tasks" is used to extract all tasks that are not done, and by copying and pasting this query into any block of code, it will track all tasks across all notes [(00:10:14)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=614s). ## Sharing and Applying Configuration - All configurations, including the query, will be made available in a link in the description, allowing users to easily grab and drop them into their [[Obsidian (software) | Obsidian]] folder, also known as the Vault, and this can be done by creating a new Vault from scratch and pasting the configuration file [(00:10:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTj8ZSDFw4&t=630s). -
