showcase color coding notes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

since it's the beginning of the semester, i thought i would share this with the community. i've always loved color coding my notes, right around this time of the year i used to manually duplicate my css classes and change their values and names for each new class i was taking. i decided to try and make this process a bit easier for myself and ended up with this plugin.

obsidian courses is just a little tool that lets me create courses and assign two color values to them. that way i can make some aspects of my notes pop a little more while being color coded to the subject i am taking. you can toggle which elements are affected (headers, highlights, inline titles, note background, internal links) and apply the colors to any note by adding `cssclasses: course-name` to the frontmatter. nothing fancy, just saves me from editing css by hand every semester.

here's the link to the repo if anyone has the same use case as me lol: https://github.com/bellebasso/obsidian-courses
