> [[How To - Add Images]]
> - To add an image, simply copy and paste it into a note.
> - images by default get copied into the location within the note where they are placed. Not in the note, but as a file in the folder.
> - images are displayed in notes by linking to them like this `![[placeholder.png]]`
> - if you remove the ! like this `[[imagename.png]]` then it will only display a link to the `[[imagename.png]]` - TIP: The Second Window plugin is handy as it lets you right click an image and 'Open in New Window'. Handy for displaying images on a second window if you are showing players that image.
> - You can set a default folder where images are stored: Settings > Files and Links > Attachment Folder Path: `<type note name>`
> - You can resize an image like this: `![[imagename.png|300]]` where 300 is the size.
> - By dafult images just go where you put them and take up that space. It is possible to align images left/right/center and justify the text around those images. The ITS theme supports this like this `![[imagename.png|right lp]]` `![[imagename.png|left lp]]`.
> - If you dont want to use the ITS theme you can just install the CSS snippet from here and get the same functionality.

# Themes and Appearance
I get many questions on how I make my notes look the way I do. It's not a big secret. I use the ITS Theme! Almost all of my notes use some sort of functionality from this excellent Theme.
If you would like to use a different theme but use the extra functionality from the ITS Theme that is possible by installing the ITS \*.css files individually. Check the [ITS Theme Documentation](https://publish.obsidian.md/slrvb-docs/ITS+Theme/ITS+Theme) for the \*.css files.

| ITS Theme | This theme includes themes designed for TTRPG users and is used in the majority of my videos. There is so much this Theme can do so make sure you spend some time exploring the [ITS Theme Documentation](https://publish.obsidian.md/slrvb-docs/ITS+Theme/ITS+Theme). | [Obsidian - Alternative ITS Theme (DnD Theme and Wiki Style Notes)](https://youtu.be/XoPBDxmt9_k) | [Style Settings](obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-style-settings) [ITS Theme Documentation](https://publish.obsidian.md/slrvb-docs/ITS+Theme/ITS+Theme) |
| | Add tables on the right or left side of your notes similar to common Wiki pages. | [Callout Infoboxes](https://publish.obsidian.md/slrvb-docs/ITS+Theme/Callouts/Callout+-+Infoboxes) | |
