Thanks for the guide! I noticed that the callouts.css file is disabled by default in Appearance>CSS snippets. Once I enabled it, the new snippet worked great. Thanks again!
I am glad you found the solution! I should have really opened Obsidian Appearance settings and navigate to the css snippets folder from there, as well as demonstrate the entire process of refreshing the snippets list and allowing it.
@@VisualPKM No, sorry! I was ambiguous. I mean the icons could be added or even replace folder names in Obsidian and/or in the OS. That would give me more visual cues to browse the files. Following your recommendation, I read "How do we manage all this digital stuff". The book might have influenced me. And, of course your advices. 😁
I created a file named "custom-callouts.css" in which I wrote the code exactly like you have shown in this video. When I go to the Obsidian setting/Appearance and click "refresh" nect to the CSS snippets heading nothing happens. When i click on the folder next to the refresh button I am directed to the snippets folder in wich I can see my "custom-callouts.css" file. I read in other tutorials that there seems to be a "Apply Custom CSS" button in the appearance menu., I don't have that button. Am I doing anything wrong?
Simply list the aliases as a coma separated list in your css file like this: .callout[data-callout="definition"], .callout[data-callout="def"] { --callout-color: 165, 252, 3; --callout-icon: lucide-lightbulb; }
This is HUGE! I can now create my own bible callouts. Thanks a lot, mate! It is highly appreciated.

Thank you very much. I was about to post a question on the obsidian forum right before I saw your suggestion which removed my confusion immediately.
thanks for your work :)
I am saving money for the visual thinking workshop !
watching all your videos. Really want to move to obsidian but having analysis paralysis.
Same here 😆
stop analysing. Just TRY it. Worst that can happen is you actually LIKE it alot.
Jazakallahu Khairan. Its really awesome. Learned something new today.
Thank you very much for sharing this very useful tip.
I was wondering how to do it, and now I know. +10
Excellent guide. Well done!
ok I stay lucid for the moment
Thank you very much, this was very helpful!
Neat trick, tx!
Thanks a lot, it's helpful.
Can i copy and paste a PNG into Excalidraw, into the rectangle, follow your steps and it will also work as an SVG.file or do i need to draw it myself?
so cool!
Really great! Now I can make my own icons. Do they work as folder names?
You mean so callouts work as folders? No they are just stylistic elements.

Some lucide icons are not available in obsidian, how do i import many svg files from a document into the css snippet?
How does the css snippet file find the svg logo? Does it have to be somewhere on the pc?
Is this also possible with .ico or .png files instead of the .svg format? I couldn't find anything about it.
PNG is supported. I think ICO is not a the moment, but there is not technical blocker why it couldn't be done.
@@VisualPKM Where would you place the PNG for it to be visible by the CSS?
how can I add aliases, eg. similar to question, help, faq, to my own callout so that I can have a definition callout with aliases:
definition, def
Simply list the aliases as a coma separated list in your css file like this:
.callout[data-callout="definition"],
.callout[data-callout="def"] {
--callout-color: 165, 252, 3;
--callout-icon: lucide-lightbulb;
}
@@VisualPKM thank you so much, this guide was fantastic and now I'm subbed
Is there any other websites to get free icons?
So is Admonition retiring?
Admonition is still available, but is you don't want to install an additional plugin then Obsidian native callouts gets the job done as well.
