[jenij101]

Steps to reproduce

Downloaded Obsidian from Google Play store on my black-and-white Onyx Boox e-reader.
After the logo and initial permission popups, the text is barely visible, as it is black on a dark gray background. Sometimes, the text appears to be the same color as the background and is not visible at all.

Expected result

Have an option to open with a light background

Actual result

Text was dark on a dark background.

Environment

• Operating system: Android 10
• Obsidian version: downloaded from Google Play 8/25/2021

[Bug?] Does not run on Onyx Boox

Platform [ ] iOS [x] Android Obsidian Mobile version: v0.0.19 Hello, The Obsidian APK will not work on my Onyx Boox ereader. It is running Android 10 but perhaps needs to be set up more specifically to run on it? This would be profitable, as other programs like OneNote and Notion run just fine. Not sure what all is involved, but figured it worth mentioning.

You can search forum and Discord for more Boox threads

Thanks!
For others coming across this - the solution is to temporarily change the “Webpage font color” in Onyx from 255 to 0 (this can be found in Obsidian’s App Optimization → Other tab).
This will allow you to see the text so that you can change the settings within Obsidian to the Light theme. Then, you can change the Webpage font color back to 255.
