Zotero 8 PDF Reader Dark Mode - Contrast in figures

    We'll likely be adding a separate option to invert images in Zotero 8, at least for some themes.

    Are you trying to recreate the previous white-on-black dark mode exactly or just the images?

    Please implement this feature. The way Zotero 7 inverted figures was extremely good. I would love to have an option to keep the colors of the reader (dark mode) exactly as they were in Zotero 7.

    How can I roll it back to v7 appearance? both text and figures. I want it exactly as it was

    Over the past year I have been using Zotero on my iPad exclusively for reading papers and textbooks specifically because of the previous white-on-black mode with inverted figures. My eyes are sensitive to light and this previous mode on a screen (especially on oled when possible) is the most relief I’ve ever had working with PDFs.

    I would be fine with a toggle to invert images, but I would also like to be able to have the v7 mode as a whole.

    I tried so many PDF apps without success and was at the point of building a web app to invert all my pdfs and texts (and embedded images) to use them in regular software (which would be a nightmare for file management). I was ecstatic when I realized Zotero did this for me natively since I already had been using it on all my devices but hadn’t realized dark mode had been added in Zotero v7.

    In the latest Zotero beta, we've added a new "Black" theme that matches the dark theme from Zotero 7, with a black background and inverted images. We've also added an "Invert Images" checkbox that can be enabled when creating custom dark themes.

    Zotero 8.0.1 is out now with the new "Black" theme and the "Invert Images" option.
