Can we please get a dark mode?
I understand Zotero is open-source and free for all to access. But the devs have been aware of the demand for a dark mode for a number of years now, and I feel like this should be a development priority.
This discussion has been closed.
Speaking of dark mode (the topic of this thread), I also thought I saw Zotero 6 being referenced with a dark mode --> https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/95761/dark-mode-issues-with-zotero-6 ... But I think this post is implying go to separate add-ins instead like the one above?
=Zotero Style (Ethereal Style for Zotero)
https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style/releases
- annotations appear in the Notes tab in the main library view (under regular notes); clicking on one opens the PDF and jumps to that annotation
- number of items in each collection appears next to collection name in left pane
- alternating rows in item list coloured differently in Windows
- relationship graphs for collections
- nested tags
Thanks for highlighting some more useful features I did not notice before in Ethereal Zotero style plugin .
@OldSlippers
Colors of images are changed but you have multiple degrees of pdf dark mode to choose from directly within Zotero Pdf reading pane, so you can try and choose the best one that works for you. You can even add your own custom colors and decide invert levels as you wish.
You can long press you customed colors to change or remove them if needed.
This is demonstrated here (press demonstration)

Hope this helps
If anyone, including the authors of the plugins, wants to take a look at it, I can make it available. I'm not much of a css developer, so I brute-forced it and probably messed about with values that didn't even need to be touched, but it works and can be good reference for anyone more adept than me to make a more refined “standard” version of Nord.
I'm also interested in your customizations. I am currently trying to change the north theme to the Kanagawa color palette. I'm doing it by editing the night.css file from the night@tefkah.com.xpi archive, but only half of it works. I can change the colors in the main menu but not in the PDF view (sidebar, buttons etc.) and also not the font family. Which files are you editing for your customizations?
As such, I'll soon be doing a new version of my own mod for Zotero 7; it should be a simpler affair, as I no longer have to mess with fonts, but I will still have to compare the three .css files, from both the original and my edit from the Zotero 6-compatible version and from the new one, before I can come up with my update. It will take a while, but stay tuned!
In any case, if you really want to stick to Zotero 6 and change the system font, for sure, I can make the .css file available somewhere and share it with you.
For feedback on the native dark mode, please start a new thread.
