Annoying white flash when restoring or opening the app

[Shun7464]

The following is what happen when I minimize and restore the Obsidian window.

For reference, the same thing used to happen in VS Code, but it was fixed in recent versions. I suspect this may be an Electron-related issue. It’s not only annoying, it causes eye strain, specially at night.

I’m on Windows 11 with Obsidian 1.11.4

I suspect I’m not the only one:

Did you also update Obsidian’s installer ?

The 1.11.4 installer of Obsidian was shipped with an update to Electron v39.2.6 so maybe it could help ? …

Something you could also check is if doesn’t come from the theme you’re using (or css snippet, plugin, etc…)

Oh my…

I just did it. Just updated the installer and it’s suddenly magically solved! The problem is forever gone!

Thank you so much <3 love you
