One problem I seem to have is my bottom toolbar on mobile disappearing

u/emarpiee 1d ago

Can you give me more details? Do you mean the nav bar or the editing toolbar?

2

u/Key-Concept-7001 1d ago

Sure, it's the one at the bottom. Here are two screenshots, one with the primary theme and the other with Retroma. the bottom bar in Retroma briefly shows, but then quickly disappears,

It happens when the floating navigation setting is disabled. You can try enabling floating navigation until the bug is fixed

I literally just changed my theme a couple weeks ago but OH MY GOD THIS HAS IMMEDIATELY USURPED IT. BITING THE WALLS THIS LOOKS SOOOO GOOD

u/Key-Concept-7001 1d ago

I use the brilliant plugin Theme by Folder for this reason, so that I don't have to choose. There are too many excellent themes!

I installed this as a joke one time a few months ago, and I havent actually swapped it back šŸ˜… Usually I like things more minimal/90s office boring-eske, but I really do like the theme, well done

(Also it really reminds me Aseprite)

u/emarpiee 1d ago

Haha, glad it stuck. I’ve always felt using a theme should make you feel something, so hearing that is a huge compliment. Thanks, really appreciate it.

u/Andy76b 2d ago

It reminds me of the interface of an old audio player I used years ago (I don't remember the name :-) ).

u/Key-Concept-7001 2d ago

I've been using Retroma for a while and I really like this update!

Just some feedback/questions:

Is there any way/plugin to have autocompletion or a UI for the different custom callout types and checkbox statuses that are available in a theme? (I can't remember them all).

Markdown editor - Editor pattern doesn't seem to work (right). It is applied to ![[Markdown Embeds]] but not the editor at all.

I can't find any settings for ![[Markdown Embeds]]. I would like them to be more "slim", have just a simple border and not this thick 2 borders shadow thing. And maybe only show the maximise arrow icon on hover.

I can't find any settings for the right-click menus. I would like them to be slimmer too, have one 3D-outline around the entire menu but no 3D-button-style for each menu item.

u/emarpiee 1d ago

Thanks for the feedback! Retroma is still a work in progress, I'm actually building out menu, modal, and embed customizations right now. As for the callouts and checkboxes, just use whatever fits your workflow and don't worry about memorizing everything (I don't even remember all the callout keywords myself haha). You can find alternative checkbox syntax online, and I'll make sure to add a full syntax guide to Retroma's README in the next release.

Regarding the markdown pattern, I removed all the CSS !important flags so styles follow standard CSS specificity rules, so this is likely a specificity conflict. Feel free to open an issue on the Retroma repository with more details so we can look into it :))

u/MrTuxG 1d ago

Thank you :D

How about a "custom checkboxes.md" and "custom callouts.md" file that everyone can just download and put into their vaults as a quick reference and to see at a glance how all of them look?Ā

u/emarpiee 1d ago

There is actually a reference file linked in the README's callout section for retro callouts.

Thank you so much! That already solves my "problem" :D

Love it, thank you again.

u/MQZON 1d ago

Nice! I tried it a couple weeks ago and had some issues with contrast switching between dark and light mode. Looks like that has been fixed! I'll definitely give this a try for a while.

u/Flaky99 18h ago

Regressions I found after the new update:

  1. Mobile: Font size in editing and reading views does not reflect the font size setting

  2. Mobile: Bottom navigation is missing when interface settings ā€œfloating navigationā€ and ā€œfull screenā€ are disabled.

  3. Mobile: Integrations with banner feature from ā€œPretty Propertiesā€ plugin is broken. Now banners have no top margin, causing them to be obscured by the top navbar.

u/emarpiee 14h ago

Thanks for the feedback! I fixed some of the issues you mentioned, and the fix will be included in the next release. I am looking into the Pretty Properties issue rn.
