Hi all,

I am having the same problem: with Radeon RX5500 and intel -i5-10500 on Windows 10, Home.

So far I have been using Obsidian only with Linux Machines, and have never had an issue. even now, when I don’t have a similar issue with my laptops with Nvidia GPU and an old laptop with Intel HD graphics.

in fact, I am getting the tearing/lagging when resizing not only when the transparent mode is on, but also when it is off (but in a lesser extent).

As a side note, I am having similar problems with other electron apps, such as Notion or ClicUp

Disabling the native transparency in Windows resolved the lag for me (without actually removing translucency from Obsidian). Having to choose one or the other is obviously not ideal, but it’s at least a workaround and is indicative of what the cause might be. (probably some buggy interaction between native transparency and whatever Obsidian/Electron is doing)

Adjusting the polling rate (1000->125hz) had some effect, but remained very laggy for me. (on a 60 hz monitor) I did some benchmarking and found that a 5 second move took approximately 60s at 1000hz, 40s at 500hz, 20s at 250hz and 10s at 125hz respectively.

Same here, using Obsidian 0.10.11 & Windows 20H2.
This may help with this, and maybe someone can make this a plugin.

The issue is still present in the latest release of Obsidian, v0.10.13 (Installer version v0.10.7). This was recorded on Windows 10 Pro 20H2 19042.746 on an RTX 2080 GPU running driver version 461.09, on an Intel i9-9900K, on a 144 Hz G-Sync (disabled) display.

I thought it might be worth noting, as a potential indication of where the issue might stem from, that the VSCode-Vibrancy extension for Visual Studio Code, which adds the same ‘acrylic material’ transparency effect found in the Fluent Design API, causes it to lag in the same way for me. Terminal, another app that features the same transparency effect (?), however, doesn’t lag when it’s enabled. What is the difference between the two implementations, and why do some experience this issue and not others? Is Obsidian leveraging the ‘acrylic material’ effect, or something similar but different?

Close your transparent effect in the Color setting of windows should fix this issue.

This issue is present for me too, as described; if you have transparency settings turned on in the Windows Color settings, and transparency turned on in appearance for Obsidian, the Obsidian window will have a lot of lag when dragging around.

I’m using this on a Dell XPS 17, running Windows 10 Home 19043.1023, and Obsidian is on version 0.12.3

using electron window plugin can make translucent without lag. Just adjust opacity in plugin setting, and not turn on translucent window core plugin.

Windows 10 Pro - Dell XPS 15 9500
Obsidian Version 0.13.14

Issue just occured for me, though this setting has been enabled for some time.

Steps taken:

  • Connect additional display to laptop (both screens 1920x1080 resolution)
  • Additional monitor supports 4K

Issue occurs following connection to additional 4K monitor.

Issue re-occurs whenever translucent window is enabled in Obsidian.

Issue resolved by disabling translucent window settings.
