How to disable flashing search icon

[belisama]

What I’m trying to do

The most recent version of Obsidian (1.6.2) added a “feature” where when you click a search link (for me, most commonly a tag in the tag pane), the search icon at the top of the left sidebar flashes. This is deeply distracting (because I use the tag pane a lot) and I can’t find a setting to turn it off. Any suggestions?

Things I have tried

This type of issue is far more specific than the help docs get and trying to search the forum got me several posts on flashing taskbar icons.

We’ll make the flash a bit less annoying/distracting in a future update. For now, you can try this snippet:

.workspace-tab-header.is-flashing {
    background-color: var(--background-modifier-hover) !important;
}

Save that as disable-flashing.css in your .obsidian/snippets/ folder.

That worked great, thank you!
