Ask for help in #appearance on discord.

I did that at first and there they said, that they don’t have clue why my doesn’t load the css and that I should open a bug report.

The thing is that another person had the same problem with their own theme.

I see the same issue with the Things theme. I can see that the CSS just isn’t loading as you can see here: Theme does not apply to pop-out windows · Issue #72 · colineckert/obsidian-things · GitHub. I’ve looked through the theme’s CSS and I don’t understand how this behavior would happen exactly.

For Things, the issue was just fixed in this commit (https://github.com/colineckert/obsidian-things/commit/0a44cb39d146a3976c06e3b90a53d8befad42719). Looks like there were a bunch of :not(.is-popout-window) references which needed to be removed which prevented things from working; maybe something similar for yours?
