Linux: Obsidian exporting to pdf produces white text on white when color scheme is set to adapt to system

that works but its still unexpected behaviour

I would like to know if this happens with the latest appimage from our website. Thanks

behavior running 1.6.5 appimage is: Base color scheme = …

  • Dark, Light: pdf export works as expected
  • Adapt to system: broken, white text on white background
    tested on Fedora 40, Gnome 46, Wayland

In August 2024 with Obsidian 1.7.0, what’s the suggested method for debugging @media print / .print CSS?

Linux mint, same issue.
CSS isn’t able to render normal character font in exported PDFs, if Obsidian is set to follow the system theme.

light or dark mode PDF exports are fine, but not if obsidians is set to use adaptive mode

How on earth is this still an issue. I had to create an account to bump a thread from mid year? Why on earth would you export with white text. Fix this. Create an option of background foreground color. Default to Black Text on White Background. This seems super amateur for such a great product.

I really like your product, this is the first time I’ve encountered something absolutely terrible about it.

This also happens in Arch Linux, where Obisidian is provided as an Electron App.
Switching to a manual theme fixes the problem, as already hinted here.
