Big and Bold was designed to imitate WYSIWYG editors and maximize focus. Drawing inspiration from several apps including Microsoft Word, Anytype, and Notion, this theme was built for long periods of uninterrupted, highly concentrated writing.
My first goal for Big and Bold was to make Obsidian look as not-Obsidian as possible. I probably could have pushed it much further, but the main way I decided to execute this was by imitating a WYSIWYG editor.
Paragraphs in live preview and reading mode are spaced in exactly the same way. Whether you press Enter once or twice, a properly spaced paragraph, identical to all other paragraphs, will be created (although you still need to press Enter twice to indent).
No inconsistencies, no surprises with paragraphs. Just keep writing and focus on writing.
When you are using Big and Bold, the note pane takes up as much space on the screen as possible. Distractions are minimized and the note itself is made the focal point. No more messing around with plug-ins in the sidebar while you're supposed to be writing that paper. No more getting lost in your graph view while you're meant to be taking Science notes. And hopefully, no more opening the developer tools and staying up 'till 3:00 AM making a theme when you're supposed to be speedrunning your math assignments, because you'll be so deeply engulfed on what really matters--the note in front of you.
Almost every element in Obsidian has been styled for you. Even Dataview tables, Page Gallery cards, and Database Folder tables are reworked with care to give you the best, most unified Obsidian experience.

<div class=drop-cap> It had just rained in the town of E-Ville.
The sidewalks shimmered with droplets throughout the foggy streets.
The streetlamps glared haughtily.
And the air stank of malicous intent...coming from the back window of Micah's house. </div>The result is a drop cap on the first letter of the first paragraph contained within the <div>.

I'm not a theme developer, just a 15-year-old who likes messing around with CSS instead of doing my homework. But this time it's worth it, because it will help me focus on my homework. Anyway, I'm not a professional, so expect some issues here and there. Don't be shy to submit a pull request or an issue to help me improve this theme!
