Support different colors

[nousernameavailableanymore]

At the moment, the background always seems to be white (unless I m missing something).

It would be nice, if the color could be either set via a parameter or in the plugin configuration (similar to admonition).

In case this is still relevant for someone:

I am using a CSS snippet ("Options" → "Appearance" → "CSS snippets"). Simply put a .css file with the following content into your snippets folder:

.auto-card-link-container {
    border-color: var(--background-modifier-border);
}
.auto-card-link-container:hover {
    border-color: var(--background-modifier-border-hover);
}

.auto-card-link-error-container {
    background-color: var(--background-modifier-error);
}
.auto-card-link-error-container:hover {
    background-color: var(--background-modifier-error-hover);
}

.auto-card-link-card {
    color: var(--text-normal);
    background-color: var(--background-secondary);
}

.auto-card-link-description {
    color: var(--text-muted);
}

This should ensure that card links work in basically all light and dark themes. However, which exact variables you use is up to personal preference (e.g., --background-secondary vs. --background-primary-alt).

Gonna share mine here as well:

.auto-card-link-container {
    border-width: 2px;
    border-color: var(--text-faint);
    transition: border-color .3s;
}

.auto-card-link-container:hover {
    border-color: var(--text-accent);
}

.auto-card-link-error-container {
    background: var(--background-modifier-error);
}

.auto-card-link-card {
    background: var(--background-secondary);
    color: var(--text-normal);
}

.auto-card-link-card:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
}

.auto-card-link-main {
    padding: 20px 10px;
}

.auto-card-link-description {
    color: var(--text-muted);
}

.auto-card-link-host {
    color: var(--text-faint);
}

You may find all available variables here and the original stylesheet here

This really needs to be a core feature of the plugin.

When used inside a canvas, I would expect the card's background and accent colors to match that of the canvas node's theme. Instead it uses the non-themed default background and accent:

By default the card uses --background-primary-alt as background, which is set by the active theme and usually is a solid color. What you describe could be done by adding some transparency to the background.

I've noticed that in a canvas card the colors of text, code blocks, and other text elements don't change when setting a theme, so I don't know if the cardlink should.

Try with this snippet

.auto-card-link-card {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
}

Thanks! I got want I wanted with the following css (also solves #53):

.is-themed .auto-card-link-card {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    .auto-card-link-host,
    .auto-card-link-title {
        color: rgb(var(--canvas-color));
    }
}

.auto-card-link-thumbnail {
    width: 33% !important;
    min-width: 33% !important;
    max-width: 33% !important;
}
