Pros

  • Parent context: For carry-ons, I no longer like clamshell styled luggage. It's a pain to open and work with at airports and hotel rooms. I don't know much about the B&R baseline wheels, but I'd go with that case design for work. Reply: S...
  • The banner feature is amazing! The best Obsidian themes just keep getting better!
  • see, I’m not a theme dev so as a general user I enjoy baseline a lot precisely because of less visual clutter and a more minimal and coherent look, even if things may not be well-coded under the roof.
  • baseline required the least… tweaking of them all and comes pretty clean out of the box.
  • It thought I couldn't love a theme more than Cupertino. It turns out I was wrong.

Cons

  • The truth is that recently themes like Baseline, Velocity, and Cupertino are very similar; they only change a little, but when scrolling quickly through multiple tables, they take a few extra seconds to format the tables according to the...
  • when I tried Baseline it felt like I would have to waste too much time to even figure out if I could get it where I wanted it.

  • really clean theme but I write a lot of bulleted technical notes and the heading fonts make it hard to read.

Parent context: For carry-ons, I no longer like clamshell styled luggage. It's a pain to open and work with at airports and hotel rooms. I don't know much about the B&R baseline wheels, but I'd go with that case design for work. Reply: Same. I have over 300k in the air and my Baseline has been with me for most of those miles. Looks awesome after a decade of use.

The truth is that recently themes like Baseline, Velocity, and Cupertino are very similar; they only change a little, but when scrolling quickly through multiple tables, they take a few extra seconds to format the tables according to the theme, which I find unsatisfactory.

Your theme is amazing, very smart and elegant. Love all the style settings, making your theme gorgeous AND highly customisable.
