The app experience is totally ruined now. It's insanity for me to see 1Password 7 to 8 transition level of nonsense again.

Block-quotes are no longer quotes, just text with a strip of light on the left with no option to make it more obvious.

File name is now H1 header at the top of the file with no option to hide it.

Performance sucks so much, and that is on an eight-core x64 mobile CPU running Windows 10 Pro. Everything is sluggish 15fps mess. Shame.

Markdown links are ruined too. The previous UI was light years ahead, using different colors for the text and the link. Now the color is the same.

Most extensions don't care and don't render properly. Fckn great, man.

The tabs are by far the only good thing in the update. Everything else is a downgrade.

I really, really don't think this kind of catastrophizing is appropriate. A lot of your complaints are incredibly minor things, and are resolved through configuration.

This absolutely has not been my experience and the level of vitriol is completely inappropriate. Extensions are developed by third-parties in their own time, and provided for free. Have you made sure all your 'broken' extensions are up to date? Have you verified they are compatible? Have you checked to see there are issues opened in the extension's git repo? Have you submitted PRs to fix the issues you've come across?

I've been using Obsidian for about a year, and about six months ago, I paid for Catalyst to have access to insider builds and to support development. In that time, Obsidian has gotten significantly better.

You can turn off the inline title under Settings > Appearance

It will likely take a few weeks for plugins/themes to update to the new theme system, so I would encourage a bit of patience!

See theme migration guide: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/0-16-0-theme-migration-guide/425...

Wait, I recognize your username... Thanks for the tabs, but please, please do something to the links and quotes. They are completely and utterly messed up, now that they look the same. 10 hours ago there was a difference between the text and the URL in a hyperlink. And now there isn't.

Perfomance is something we never had to begin with, at the very least I can live without it. But we had double colored links! We had quotes, highlighted out of the text by grey colored blocks.

Why? Why would you take that? I mean, 1Password team has moved to Electron and lost features, that is partially understandle. Forgivable, at least. But Obsidian just got comically worse with no explanation provided.

I am not 100% sure I understand what you are describing but it sounds easy to fix.

If you can share before/after screenshots of issue on the Obsidian forum or in Obsidian Discord, that would help!

I'll be glad to help on the weekend. It was a huge relief to know, that you didn't just drop a color from the hyperlink

Been using Obsidian for the last year or so, following LYT etc. Life changing software. So, basically everything feels exactly the same to me. I don't understand what this comment is about. Is something light years ahead just because there is a different link colour? For some reason this comment is at the top? HN pessimism has gone too far. Sorry.

> File name is now H1 header at the top of the file with no option to hide it.

Have you tried adjusting the option: Appearance › Show inline title ?

That actually worked out for me, thanks. Looks like some settings like font size, UI scaling and showing inline title have been reset.

That's funny, I could swear my Obsidian got faster from the update.
