Contrast issues in Obsidian 1.0 #32

Closed HarStu closed 2 years ago

Hi,

I've been using this theme for several months, and just got the Obsidian 1.0 update yesterday. After updating, I'm finding it difficult to distinguish between links to existing and non-existing notes.

I don't have any screenshots pre-1.0/0.16, but it was very apparent then: now, I'm struggling to make out the difference at a glance. LinkContrast

This is even more of an issue in tables, which have a more "washed out" appearance now. I can barely see the difference between my existing "Rhetoric & Relations" link and my nonexistent "Arts & Recreation" one TableContrast

While I'm aware the theme was fully re-written for the 0.16 previews that led up to 1.0, I never had access to the 0.16 previews. As such, I'm unsure if this is a new issue or if these colours are intended. If they are intended, please let me know so I can start figuring out how to fix it for myself with a CSS snippet. Thanks!

The accent colors for the existing/non-existing links is a by-product of the new Obsidian default theming. The default theme has the same "hard to distinguish" coloring except for purple on black is a bit easier to distinguish. You can control the fading/alpha level of these links with a snippet.

I agree the row coloring on tables is a bit too extreme. I'll work in this and provide a tweak in the next release.
