Suggestions for Upcoming Versions
In this discussion, I would like to share some features that I personally think can contribute to the user-friendliness of Zotero and benefit its users.
Here are some for the starters:
1- Add a dark theme. As much self-explanatory as it is, a dark theme can improve the UI, and help with long hours of reading pdfs!
2- Add more highlight colors, make them editable with varying levels of opacity, and provide the ability to make custom colors.
3- When selecting the bleeding paragraphs (the paragraphs at the very end of a page that bleed into the next page), highlighting the paragraph results in selecting the unwanted footer section, which is annoying. When selecting the text, highlighting should ignore the footer section.
Please share your ideas as well. And a big thank you to the developers.

Having these ideas within Zotero would be great. Currently, there are some workarounds for some of them:
1-Dark mode: Plugins can be used to add dark mode

2- You can add more highlighting colors by first opening the pdf in external pdf editor (like edge or any other pdf editor) and adding highlight with different colors. These colors will be added to available colors for highlighting
