Obsidian 1.0.3 not saving Base Color Scheme changes when using 2 vaults

Bug graveyard
,
1

I have 2 vaults in 2 totally distinct places. A and B.
My system theme is Light.
I open my Vault A. I want it Dark with Green (Personal Vault)
I open my Vault B. I want it Light with Red (WorkVault), to distinguish it visually from the other vault. This is specifically to keep myself from entering notes into the wrong vault.

Steps to reproduce

  • Vault A open, I set the base color scheme to Dark.
  • Vault B open, I set the base color scheme to Adapt to System.
  • Close vaults.
  • Open Vault A, and it’s now light (as system is set).
  • Check value of Base Color Scheme for Vault A. It’s ‘Light’. Change to dark.
  • Reopen vault.

Expected result

I expect that each vault holds its own value for Base Color Scheme.
Open 2 vaults and have visual identifiers of which vault to enter data.

Actual result

  • Vault A does not save/maintain Base Color Scheme, even when manually setting it so.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Additional information

  • With testing it further, closing any Vaults, opening only Vault A, will switch it from Light mode to Dark mode.
  • Next, I manually save it to dark. Close and reopen only Vault A, and again it Load and switches to Light mode.

I can’t reproduce.

Do your vaults use Sync or anything similar? I had a similar problem that I cured by not syncing appearance settings.

Sorry I did not get email for this for some reason. Yes I do have it syncing!
Is it one file or a folder I should exclude from syncing? It’s weird because it uses the same Dark Mode on each synced machine. It’s the new additional vault I have added locally which I changed to be light. Now the first one keeps flipping back to Light from Dark, even though the vaults are totally separate.

I can make a video I guess demonstrating, does that help?

Yes, using the sandbox vault

Oh, if the problem is with 2 vaults on the same machine then it’s probably not a sync issue (but for reference, you’d go to Sync Settings and turn off Sync Appearance Settings).

Even if it were, I think it’d be worthwhile to continue troubleshooting with WhiteNoise to try to find the root mov the problem.
