Incorrect image display

I use the standard plug-ins “Buttons” and “Iconize”. The PNG image is not displayed correctly in the remote unit when viewed through the reading mode. I added two screenshots — when viewing the image in edit mode and in read mode.

Those are not standard plugins. Those are community plugins. Bug reports are only for base Obsidian. Any problem with community plugins should be logged on their Github projects.

Also you didn’t include the bug report template. So for now I’ve moved this to Help

Yes, I’m sorry. But this problem occurs even without these community plugins

I just wanted to say that I don’t use any plugins that relate to this issue. It occurs even without them.

Ok thanks. So if it’s a bug, can you please supply all the information asked in the template? At least:

  1. “Show debug info” command in Obsidian.
  2. What is the problem? In the screenshot, I see a slight difference in color. Is that your issue? Please try to describe.

The problem is that the original video has a dark background and a gray grid pattern. When viewed in reading mode, the background changes and the grid disappears for some reason… Although it’s just an image.

I couldn’t find how to use “Show debug info”. Can u help me, please?)

Ctrl-P or Cmd-P to bring up the command palette, and start typing “Show debug info”. Run that command, and copy/paste the info here.

In addition to the above, is this something that changed with a recent Obsidian update or have you just noticed it?


Callouts have always had a “mix-blend-mode” applied (different for the light and dark color schemes). Some images in callouts can look slightly different in Reading view when using the dark color scheme (especially in darker images). Could be related to that or a theme style for callouts and/or images.

You can check if it’s the blend mode with this CSS snippet:

body {
  --callout-blend-mode: normal;
}

It you upload the original .png somewhere and link to it, we can take a look; don’t drop the image in the forum here, it will probably be converted to .jpeg.


It may be hard to tell from the .gif compression or your monitor, but here I’m switching between live preview and reading view, then enabling and disabling the snippet in reading view:
