This is the third part of the ongoing series about Obsidian tweaks and tips. I keep collecting those from all over the internet and demonstrate them in the video below.

TOC Color Formatting

Make the table of contents match your note

I found this one on Reddit, posted by user stassinari. It modifies the appearance of the note outline in the side pane to match the heading formats of your note. This makes it easier to read and – especially for longer notes – navigate.

For this, we need a CSS snippet. You can copy the code from hereThe video above explains how to use it.

Find missing files

List links to non-existing notes

Copy the code from the link below and insert it into your note. Remember to add three backticks before and after the code to mark it as a code block.

For this, we need a dataview query.

You can copy the code from here.

Find empty files

List notes without content

This is another dataview query that you can easily adapt to your own needs. The version you can find at the link below will search your complete vault and return a list of empty notes.

Load Obsidian faster

Reduce Obsidian startup time

Technically, this is not a tweak. Look for the “Plugin Groups” plugin. It allows you to delay the loading of plugins, letting you start working in Obsidian faster without having to fully disable plugins.
