§ the idea

Your vault as a 1984 desktop, drawn at 2× in true 1-bit: two inks, no anti-aliasing. The file tree is a Finder window, the note is a document window with striped title bar and ruler, the per-note panel is a stack of desk accessories, and the desktop between them is a 50% checker. Four OFL pixel faces.

Install it

  1. Open the Store from the left rail in Solomon (or press ⌘9) and choose Themes.
  2. Find System 1 and click Install. It lands in your vault’s Themes/ folder.
  3. Choose it under Settings → Appearance. The default look is one click away there too.

Solomon is a free download for macOS. Get the app
