Note: For this to work the "readable line length" property in settings has to be enabled in settings (as expected).
700px is the default width, just adjust the number below.
Pixels px (or percentage %) are possible units that enable a width independent from the number of characters
(good when adjusting the zoom level or font size). For fixed amount of characters use rem, e.g. 70rem

@StrangeGirlMurph took a hot sec, but this combo of style properties seems to do the trick.
body {
/*Set the width of your desire here*/
--user-custom-width: 80rem !important;
/*Code for edit view*/
--file-line-width: var(--user-custom-width) ;
/*Code for live read view*/
--content-max-width: 100rem !important;
--content-base-width: var(--user-custom-width);
}
@Nehroz thank you
I actually ended up just using the minimal theme with the minimal theme settings plugin which is amazing and lets me edit all those parameters with ease from the settings :)
FWIW, I use
body {
--file-line-width: 80ch;
}
to set my line length to 80 times the width of the "0" glyph which, since I'm using a monospace font, means that my line width will be (approximately) 80 characters. For other fonts it might also make sense to try out ex instead (= height of "x" in the current font). Overall, ch and ex give me a much better idea of how long the line is going to be than em or rem.
Where are you guys putting this css to change the appearance?

In Obsidian/snippets. Then the file will be shown in the Obisidan settings menu where you can toggle it on and off. See also https://help.obsidian.md/How+to/Add+custom+styles
--file-line-width
really thx, first snippet I try, that work after only one code change
Hi all,
I would like to have more line length in Obsidian.
I put this into my snippet file:
body {
--file-line-width: 80rem;
}
But the width of my editor line length stays always the same. The snippet folder is displays in the preference section. I called the file "mysnippets.css"I also tried 900px without success. In the preference section I turned the "readable Line length" option on an off. What is missing?
Hi, just found out this snippet. I think now you need to add !important for it to take effect, but otherwise still works great in the newest version.
Aka,
body {
--file-line-width: 750px !important;
}
what if you are just trying to change this setting on specific pages I attempted adding a cssclass to the page a
halo, bro. Have you had it fixed? specific pages works, but not affect other pages
@symonxdd yes any idea how to make it also apply to reading view?
