Steps to reproduce

Enable Windows High Contrast: Shift + Alt + PrnScr

Expected result

Obsidian stays the same.

Actual result

All UI elements in Obsidian is effected by windows contrast

Environment

  • Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 21H1 Build 19043.1237

  • Obsidian version: V0.12.16 (Installer V0.12.15)

Additional information / Context

Used to use Windows Enterprise. I use High Contrast mode alot. When it is on, it does not impact Obsidian. PC just recently died. New Windows 10 Pro install, choco install’d all my programs, including obsidian. High Contrast Mode now turns all Obsidian UI elements black and white.

I’m not sure if it is Obsidian or my set up. Just posting, in case someone knows…

I don’t consider this a bug.

Ok sorry.
I remember Obsidian not subject to Window’s HCM. If this is not a bug, is this an intentional change then?

Thanks

Update: I’ve downloaded the older version I used before (V0.12.12) on my win10pro. The same thing happens: all UI elements of Obsidian is effected.

It looks like it was the Win10Enterprise I was using who’s High Contrast Mode did not impact Obsidian. But this new Win10pro version I installed does.

I had thought that it was a change in Obisidian Versions that caused this issue. It is not.

Sorry about that @WhiteNoise.

Hi Welp!

I want to start using Obsidian and I’m suffering from the same phenomenon. This is something I care about a lot. Did you find any kind of solution or workaround?

Thanks,
Ram.
