is this still happening?

[JerryZhang]

Yes, I can confirm this still happens in v1.2.8

I still can confirm the bug is happening with Obsidian 1.6.7 and Sonoma macOS. I will for now give up to the translucent effect.

As a stopgap, Obsidian should apply translucent style only after the entire layout has been loaded. At least the user is not shown this ugly screen or half and half colors.

The most annoying thing about this ugly screen is that one does not know what the problem is. I thought for a while that something in my vault was broken.
