Minimal Theme

Hi people, … My beloved Minimal theme stopped working for me, using the legacy editor. Is there a workaround for this?

(I use the legacy editor because I still cannot tweak the new editor to be less aggressive in rendering everything)

This is @kepano’s statement over at the Discord channel:

I have been busy writing the new default theme for Obsidian so I have had very little time to work on Minimal. I did a very quick pass on Minimal to try and fix the major issues but it’s definitely going to have some broken areas. I know about most of them already. It’s probably going to take me a while to patch up all the issues with Minimal because I’m also working on feedback to the default theme from 0.16 insiders. If things are too broken for you I would recommend reverting back to 0.15

Yes this is very much possible. Just use .internal-link and .external-link selectors:

.internal-link {
  color: tomato;
}

In case you encounter specificity conflicts in some (possibly rare) cases, force override with !important (bad practice in web, but here it’s completely justified):

.internal-link {
  color: tomato!important;
}

Really love the theme, I’m having a weird issue with it I can’t figure out, the left padding is completely missing. I don’t recall making any changes before this happened, and even if I did, I’ve tried removing and redownloading the theme, but no dice.

It’s probably something really simple, but whatever it is, it eludes me. Anyone know the solution?

How to hide this ribbon ??

Try the ‘Hider’ plugin

I Use the Hider Plugin to hide ribbon but it’s kept appear in the bottom when hovering, why that happen and how to hide the ribbon completely?
@kepano

You would need to create a snippet for that. See obsidian-minimal/hider.scss at master · kepano/obsidian-minimal · GitHub

Something like

.hider-ribbon:not(.is-mobile) .workspace-ribbon.mod-left { 
  display: none !important;
}

I’m also looking for word count in iOS app. Anyone got an idea?

There is an Obsidian core plugin that does it. You can also use the Better Word Count plugin. It is in the community plugins store.

I know both plugins, however I’m not sure where can I view the count with iOS minimal theme. With default theme I swipe from the right side and the word count is at the top before backlinks.

this will be resolved in the next major version of the Obsidian mobile app

@kepano Dear kepano, very like this theme. Do you have any solution about exporting the PDF colourfully (Title)? Thanks a lot.

I am trying to change the heading colors. I use the Style Settings plugin but it has no effect. Any ideas?

I’m not able to reproduce this issue. Do you have colorful headings on in Minimal Settings? If so you should turn that setting off because it overrides custom color schemes. See documentation at minimal.guide

That was it @kepano . I turned off the colorful headings and can now select my own colors. Thank you!

I just got the update for V1. Does anyone know about styling tables.

  • I now have truncated sentences in my tables instead of the line wrapping. How do I allow multiple lines to be shown? I have a dataview table with a summary column pulled from a data key in a note. I need to be able to read the entire summary sentence. Maybe there is an option I missed.

  • Also the file id column now has too much empty space after the file name.

  • I tried to use the inspector to look at it so I could create my own css snippet, but the inspector isn’t showing elements like it did before. Is that a change?


Editing my post to say I found a snippet from this thread.

One of the recent updates with Kanban plugins allows the changes of tag colors. When using Minimal Theme, I am not able to change the background color for the tags. Able to have a fix for this? Thanks.

After the release of obsidian v 1.0 the YAML header (in the minimal theme) isn’t colourful in edit mode anymore. Does anyone know how do I get it to have colours again?

no?

did you update the theme or does it still say legacy?
