Hi, for those using DropSync or Syncthing who want different font sizes and fonts on Android and Desktop:
I’ve figured out that the ‘appearance.json’ file controls the appearance on both Android and Desktop. If left unattended, it will automatically sync, meaning that if you change appearance settings on one device, it will impact others.
The solution in DropSync is to configure the app to ‘ignore’ syncing the ‘appearance.json’ file.
Once you do this, the appearance configuration will not sync across devices, allowing you to have different font sizes on Android and Desktop while maintaining the syncing of plugins and without affecting the header size.
In Syncthing, it’s a bit more complicated. You need to create a .stignore file that contains the filenames you want to exclude from syncing, including ‘appearance.json’. I haven’t tested this myself, but you can ask ChatGPT to create a .stignore file for you, download it, and then upload it to your Syncthing app under the “Ignore Patterns” section in your folder configuration.
I am new around here, but since Obsidian is free and I am benefiting from huge communitty support and wish to make some contribution.
