Minimal Theme

I would recommend doing this via a CSS snippet. If you copy the CSS below into a .css file and put it in your snippets folder it should show the vault name again.

.titlebar-text {
  display: static;
}

For others trying this: I tried the snippet and it didn’t work, after some searching figured out that this change works:

.titlebar-text {
  display: initial;
}

This is awesome! What do I need to do to make this work with my Books database?

kepano · 2022-01-09T16:04:35.023Z

Just add the cards class to any note with a Dataview table and it will work. There isn’t a script to get book covers but I would recommend opening a new forum topic if you need help with that.

This class is only to work on reading view (live preview) right? If so, do you have plans to port it to editing view (live preview)?

Thanks for all the hard work, really enjoying the cards update

kepano · 2022-01-09T17:49:43.024Z

Would love to, but YAML classes are not compatible with Live Preview yet — I would encourage you to raise this with Obsidian team so they can prioritize it. See feature request:

Apply yaml cssclass to edit mode Feature requests

Is it already in now? I’m not sure. I just know that when I edit YAML in live preview, it is already applying syntax color highlighting.

@kepano , thanks for all the hard work! Minimal is such an awesome theme!

Just to add to @Obsidian-GT question, and to make sure I understand correctly.
Is it already possible to try to do something like this? Reference a file in the frontmatter that is then viewed as the cover?

For example:
My note with the dataview

---
cssClasses: cards, cards-cover
---

```dataview 
TABLE WITHOUT ID
	cover as Cover,
	file.link AS "Books"
FROM "References/Books" 
WHERE notetype="media"

My individual book note

---
notetype: media
cover: ![[Cover.png]]
---

...

If you think this belongs into a new topic, then I’ll happily open one.

Thanks for all the support!

This is not related to Minimal, it’s a limitation of Dataview. Relative paths and image links are not yet supported in Dataview. I would recommend splitting this out into a separate topic or discussing in the relevant Dataview Github issues themselves:

Support for images in fields

I am not sure if this is possible, but maybe it can be done. I would like to be… able to link to a remote or local image in a yaml field, and have dataview render that image in preview mode. So something like: ``` --- image: ![](URLtoimage.com/image.jpg) # OR image: [](URLtoimage.com/image.jpg) # OR image: URLtoimage.com/image.jpg --- ``` Where you could then have a table calling for the image field ```dataview table image from "" ``` I know yaml won't render the image in preview mode, but perhaps dataview could have an image type which passes the image path to `<img src="{{path}}">` or something.

relative path support

Currently it's a pain to write a generic queryfor "everything in current folder"…, as you can't do `LIST FROM this.file.folder` I think something like `LIST FROM "."` or `LIST FROM "./subfolder"` would be nice

@kepano Couple questions: Just noticed that the Checklist plugin is not showing correctly on Live Preview. Do you have plans to re-support it or should I stick with snippets? Here is how it looks for me. Also, will you be offering only a minified version of your theme from now on? I am asking because minified makes it a bit more harder to inject snippets and want to make sure I am not missing a de-minified version somewhere.

Thanks!

Please open a Github issue for Checklists support. You may also want to tag the developer of the plugin on Github

Done and done! Tagging @delashum on this thread.
Thanks for your help!

Could it be possible that with the last update, the edit/preview button on mobile version of the theme disappeared?

Are you using focus mode? If you are using Minimal Theme Settings you can disable focus mode from the command palette or the settings.

arroyot24 · 2022-01-11T18:01:55.533Z

Yea! that’s the reason. Thanks

janpeeters · 2022-01-12T20:30:32.883Z

I think that’s a smart idea to remove it and let a feature like this be managed by a @mgmeyers separate Indentation Guides plugin.

elwc · 2022-01-13T13:01:44.306Z

Firstly, thanks @kepano for such wonderful theme and really advanced improvements such as the cards layout and also the cssClasses.

I’m really in love with cssClasses:row-alt that I want to make it the default for all tables in my vault! I studied the theme but I still do not know what to write in the Snippet to make this happen . Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance!

j.split · 2022-01-16T18:52:44.017Z

Loving the embed-strict class for transclusions! Is there a way to globally enable it for all notes without needing to use the cssClasses YAML? Maybe I need to turn that bit into an individual snippet.

PR-C · 2022-01-16T22:10:15.564Z

@kepano Some of the lines seem to have different spacing or line numbering is misaligned (screenshot attached). I tested this with other themes and it is showing up only with Minimal. No snippets, no outlines/indentation/zoom plugins. I am on 4.4.0.

This is fixed if you update to the latest

philbowell · 2022-01-17T18:00:58.182Z

Started using Minimal theme today. Is there an easy way to increase the contrast of UI icons and sidebar text? I find some of the icons a bit hard to see.
