Request: Zotero 8 dark mode colormaps upgrade. (Comparing to Zotero 7)

KCOREH

Thanks for adding the invert-color for images feature in Zotero 8 — this is a useful improvement.

However, Zotero 8 appears to alter colormap rendering compared to Zotero 7. Even with invert-color enabled, color gradients made some features harder to distinguish. Zotero 7 does not simply invert the color; in fact, it used a very beautiful colormap, which, at the end of the day, preserves the clarity of the figure.

For reference, these figures come from the following paper: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08381-1.

This is Zotero 8 rendering of the figure. You can see that some of the text is missing due to color inversion.

This is Zotero 7 rendering of the same figure.

Would it be possible to add an option to preserve the original colormap? This would help ensure clear viewing of figures where color encodes quantitative information.

Thanks again for the continued development of Zotero.
