Neat File Tree

Small quality-of-life tweaks for Obsidian's file explorer that make a deep, busy vault easier to navigate.

_{Sticky folder headers + the six built-in color schemes (Aurora, Rainbow, Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Mono)}

Features

• Sticky folder headers — parent folders pin to the top as you scroll, stacked by depth, just like VSCode's "sticky scroll". You never lose track of where you are when many folders are expanded.
• Per-depth color schemes — folder names, their bar, and the indentation guide lines are colored by depth from a scheme you pick: Aurora (the default, anchored to your theme's accent), Rainbow, Ocean, Sunset, Forest, or Mono — chosen from a live preview in settings. Top-level folders stay bold so the roots of your vault stand out.

Each feature has its own toggle in the plugin settings, plus a Row height field to keep the sticky headers aligned if you use a larger interface font.

Install

In Obsidian: Settings → Community plugins → Browse → search "Neat File Tree" → Install → Enable.

How it works

The plugin is pure CSS toggled by body classes — no DOM manipulation, no performance cost. It respects your theme's accent color (--text-accent) and background variables, so it adapts to light/dark and custom themes automatically.
