Highlighted notes/folders

What I’m trying to do

Turn off whatever is highlighting the notes/folders in my vault.

Things I have tried

I’ve gone setting by setting in the Style Settings plugin and the Appearance settings, I can’t find anything that turns this off. Searching for things “obsidian folder/notes highlighted” is not especially helpful…

See the boxes around some of the folders and notes:

Absolutely certain I’m an idiot for not being able to figure this out, but it’ driving me crazy, appreciate any pointers.

I don’t think folks have narrowed down the culprit yet, but there have been similar posts recently.

The link to the troubleshooting steps are in both. Remember to restart Obsidian or close-open the vault when turning off plugins one-by-one. Not all plugins are unloaded with just turning them off.

I started to have this same issue. I can’t say why it happened but I solved it temporarily with a CSS snippet - in my case this worked:

.tree-item-self.has-active-menu {
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 0px;
}

My theme has a slightly different background colour for the currently active menu item, so it’s still being visually highlighted even when all the borders are off.

Someone mentioned on Discord they tracked down a similar issue to the Metadata Menu plugin. Not sure if anyone is using that, but something to check.

I too have this problem, and I am using the Metadata Menu plugin, so, at least for me, this lead seems to have some substance.
