[Z7 Beta] Zotero doesn't respect system colour scheme anymore

I'm using 7.0.0-beta.39+ecba25be0 on KDE Plasma 5.27.4. After updating the beta today (I skipped a few versions) Zotero does not seem to respect the system colours anymore when highlighting text. Instead highlighted text is now highlighted in a blue colour. As previous versions respected my system defaults, I assume that this is not intended.

(Another small aesthetic pet peeve: I would find it nice if the annotation toolbar was centered above the reader pane - currently it seems to be centered between the search icon and the toggle sidebar switch, which means that it usually appears somewhat left of center of the pdf viewer).

Thank you!
  • Just to clarify, you upgraded to the beta with a major update to the reader, so some things will be different.

    Selected text in the new reader currently has to use a hard-coded value everywhere for technical reasons, but we'll restore use of the system highlight color in a future update.

    We'll fix the centering of the tools. (It's not actually doing what you say — there's just a breakpoint where it jumps to the left at a certain window size, for unclear reasons.)
  • Yes, I understand that there are changes (and I am usually looking forward to them), I just wasn't sure whether this was intentional or not. Thank you for the clarification!
