That’s correct, it’s an outstanding feature request that hasn’t been implemented yet. Without it, helper classes cannot be applied to PDFs.

Oh ok, I’ll wait then. Unfortunately from a PDF exporting standpoint obsidian lack quite a bit, not having the option to produce clickable internal link too. Let’s see if this will be implemented. Thank’s @kepano for your help.
Hello I hope I’m not posting my problem in the wrong thread.
I Love Minimal Theme but there is a problem which is really annoying. I use RTL and whenever I’m in editor mode all texts are aligned to right. here is an example:
can someone please help me fix this?
Can the spacing be reduced between normal text and lists that follow for preview mode? In editing it looks normal but when previewing the space becomes a bit excessive.
Comparison:
I just recently started using Obsidian (love it!) and have a question regarding the current Minimal theme and screenshots displayed on the Minimal Guide website.
I completed the following steps outlined on the website:
- Installed “Minimal” theme
- Installed companion plugin “Minimal Theme Settings”
- Installed plugin “Hider”
I then Configured Obsidian for a more “macOS-native appearance”:
- Obsidian Appearance settings
- Hider plugin settings
- Minimal Theme Settings plugin settings
However, for the Minimal Theme Settings plugin, when I turned on “Text labels for primary navigation” the interface does not look the same as the screenshots displayed on the Minimal Guide website.
Instead of a House icon labeled “Notes” … I have a Folder icon labeled “Files”.
The Magnifying Glass icon labeled “Search” is next.
Instead of a Star icon labeled “Starred” … I have a Document icon with no label … and clicking on that icon displays a message “Plugin no longer active. The plugin that created this view (starred) has gone away.”
Below that is a Bookmark icon labeled “Bookmarks” and I’m wondering if that provides the same function as the non-existent Starred icon/label?
Is this difference due to the passing of time? Since it appears that the Minimal Theme was created in 2020.
And how do I remove the non-functional Document icon?
(screenshots attached)
Thanks for your help!

The screenshots are old and have not been updated so that’s the reason for the Notes/Files discrepancy.
The Starred plugin has been deprecated, it is now called Bookmarks. See Obsidian Release v1.2.6 (Insider build)
To remove the File icon right click and close pane. This is probably a remnant of a plugin you installed and removed.
Thank you for the confirmation. Much appreciated!
Hey everyone, is there any way to pinpoint the css bits that render the code blocks in the reading view? I quite like them and I am trying to replicate them in a simple website project of mine.
Hi all, I’ve combed through the Style Settings and tried almost all of them, but can’t seem to figure out how to change the color of the line that separates the main viewer window and the sidebar, does anyone have insight into how to change this?
The selector for those elements appears to be hr.workspace-leaf-resize-handle. You can change the color using CSS in a snippets, such as:
hr.workspace-leaf-resize-handle {
background-color: red;
}
The color is set in Style Settings → Interface colors → Border color
if you want to create a snippet for it, the better approach is to target the variable directly, which needs to be done separately for light and dark mode:
.theme-light {
--divider-color: red;
}
.theme-dark {
--divider-color: yellow;
}

Yep. This is what I meant. Definitely.
Really loving minimal! Just one quick question, would it be possible to change the background color of the right sidebar like in fig. A?(like the default theme, but also with the tab bar as well)
fig. A
on a side note, both answers above don’t answer @evanjohnson’s question, @ScottKillen’s snippet only changes some of the borders (fig. B) and @kepano’s setting doesn’t change anything related to the question (fig. C)
Fig. B. Note the top tab ‘line’ with no red
Fig. C. This is the setting in style settings, the css snippet didn’t do anything for some reason
Edit: I made a CSS Snippet that accomplished this, plus changing the the top tab bar as well
.sidebar-toggle-button, .workspace-tabs.mod-top {
--tab-container-background: var(--background-secondary) !important;
}
.workspace-tab-header-container {
--titlebar-background-focused: var(--background-secondary) !important;
}
body.is-focused {
--titlebar-background-focused: var(--background-secondary) !important;
}
body:not(.sidebar-color) .mod-right-split {
--background-secondary: var(--background-secondary) !important;
}
body:not(.sidebar-color) .mod-right-split {
--background-secondary: var(--bg2) !important;
}
body:not(.sidebar-color) .mod-right-split :not(.mod-top) .workspace-tab-header-container {
--tab-container-background: var(--background-secondary);
}
which looks like this:

You can accomplish this using a snippet. It’s not something I am prioritizing because it’s part of the identity of the theme, and what makes it unique 
If you type Ctrl-Shft-I, the inspection dialog will open. You can your the selector pointer (top left of the inspector window) to select the element you want to change. Then you can replace the element in the snippets we provided.

Hi! I’m having a problem with how minimal theme invers colors for pdf files, which for me is undesirable behaviour as it messes out images inside. Is it possible to disable this color-inversion for pdfs without switching the whole theme to light mode?
nevermind, I found it in style settings
Hi kepano! I’m back on the Minimal theme yet again because I need cards. How do I disable the reduced opacity of images in dark mode, please? I’m a sewist so I need to be able to match fabric colors by their images. Thank you for your awesome work!
Style Settings > Minimal > Images > Image opacity in dark mode
