TreeFocus
approvedby iOSonntag
Highlight, dim & style your files & folders in the file explorer (navigation) based on predefined or custom rules.
Obsidian Plugin: TreeFocus
Ever wanted to (dim) a File or Folder?
For rarely used or unimportant Files or Folders.
Example:

/_SYS/(maybe for your template and attachment Folders)/some_dir/not_in_use/(storing some irrelevant data)
Or maybe HIGHLIGHT some Files and Folders?
For the good stuff.
Example:

/Main//VeryImportantFolder_DoNotDelete_Plz/
Or any other imaginable config for your file explorer items?
✅ This plugin might do the trick!
TreeFocus - Intro
Highlight, dim & style your Files & Folders in the file
explorer based on predefined or custom rules.
All your vault items in the left navigation panel can be styled. Either via
- matching rules or
- explicitly set via the item context menu
Every item in the file explorer evaluates to one of the following TreeFocusModes™ :
- 💡
HIGHLIGHT - 🥱
DIM - 🍆
DEFAULT(Obsidian default)
Then each item will be styled based on that TreeFocusMode™.
Combine with other Plugins
You like the Icon Folder plugin?
Me too that is why this plugin is fully
compatible with the plugin Icon Folder (obsidian-iconize).
Hurray 🕺 🎊 🎉 !!!
Big shout out @ FlorianWoelki for his awesome plugin.
How it all works
Example config result:
The screenshot is the result of choosing the
- Style Transformation Preset:
Fancy
and applying the following rules:
-
TreeFocusMode™ -
DIM
on allFilesandFoldersstarting with'_' -
TreeFocusMode™ -
HIGHLIGHT
on explicit selected items:/Backend/More
Settings
You can configure the behavior of this plugin by either defining general rules
or explicitly set the TreeFocusMode™ per File / Folder.
Explicit Transformations: Configurations On Item Level
Right click on an item in the file explorer gives you options to explicitly apply TreeFocusModes™. This overwrites all defined rules and can be reset at any time.

DISCLAIMER
I do not own the TreeFocusMode™ nor the TreeFocusModes™ trade mark. This is pure parody on the stupidity of that trade mark. Developers do these kind of jokes :D - Have a great day!
