  1. Colors in highlighted collection are difficult to read

    by mjthoraval · July 21, 2025
    I also see the same problem on Windows: the collection-containing-an-item highlighting hides the text of the collection name in dark mode:
  2. Separate dark mode for interface and PDF viewer on Zotero for iPad

    by panrium · July 18, 2025
    I found it, thanks. Is there any plans on fixing pdf content color getting inverted in dark mode?
  3. iOS Beta EPUB Dark mode background colour

    by Otakt · July 18, 2025
    PDFs in dark mode are currently shown with a completely black background but EPUBs are shown with a dark grey background when Dark mode is selected. I think it would be better if both PDF and EPUB use
  4. Separate dark mode for interface and PDF viewer on Zotero for iPad

    by sergio-ss · July 13, 2025
    Currently, switching between light or dark mode on iPad changes the appearance of both the app interface and the PDF viewer. This means that if I use dark mode (to reduce eye strain at night), the PDF
  5. zotero turned my PDF black on the Web platform

    by tnajdek · July 8, 2025
    In the main web library view (not the reader view), if you click the cog icon next to the search input, there’s an option called "Use Dark Mode for Content" - make sure that’s unchecked.
  6. Android Bug: Highlight color picker differs from actual highlight color - plus highlight SQL thought

    by ryanwwest · July 6, 2025
    Sometimes I switch between light and dark mode in one session and make highlights of different colors in both modes. I've noticed a bug where the displayed color of the highlighted text can get out of

    The problem occurs regardless of whether Dark or Light mode is selected.

    by poettli · June 25, 2025
    Beside the improvement in dark mode, the reader appearance popup has some problems in 7.1-beta.40:

    @joaofrgomes and others, please test dark mode with scanned papers in the latest beta — there are some experimental changes.
  10. Windows dark theme works fine, but adding High Contrast does not

    by Stephen Yeo · June 20, 2025
    I have Windows 10 set to dark mode, and Zotero picks this up when launching and it works fine. But if I add High Contrast to the dark mode, Zotero becomes unusable - none of the items in the item grid
  11. Changing theme programmatically

    by dstillman · June 13, 2025
    Assuming you mean light/dark mode and not the reader theme:
  12. Changing theme programmatically

    by MrBallistic · June 13, 2025
    I use "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme <...>" to control whether my system is light or dark mode, and while some apps work with gtk, others appear to have their own system.
  13. Available for beta testing: Reader appearance popup with theme support

    by joaofrgomes · June 13, 2025
    Example #3 was, IIRC, processed by me with Acrobat Pro, but examples #1 and #2 (especially #1, which is a proper unprocessed facsimile of a historical issue of the Bauhaus magazine) were imported into
  14. [PDF reader] the blueish citation color is quite distracting for dark PDF background

    by AP-SK · June 9, 2025
    I suggest Zotero consider using text colour instead of highlight for the links. I, too, use dark mode: brighter white would work nicely. For day mode, consider blue text like in a usual hyperlink.

    by joaofrgomes · June 8, 2025
    This is the same document, with my custom #000000/#FFFFFF theme (but all other dark themes will produce the same slightly darker result).
  16. Dark mode: toggle light/dark in PDFs from within dark mode

    by wakoma · June 8, 2025
    I don't see " View → Use Dark Mode for Content" in 7.1 beta.36+1.
  17. Available for beta testing: Reader appearance popup with theme support

    by joaofrgomes · June 6, 2025
    I'm sorry for the strongly-worded comment, but it is what it is: this new functionality is ABYSMAL for scanned book/document PDFs. It completely borked the dark mode content view for anything but clea
  18. Can't disable dark mode for content

    by janzavra · May 28, 2025
    Hello! I prefer to use Zotero in dark mode, but with the content in its original format. Is there a way to disable dark mode only for content? I previously saw a button that allowed me to do this, but

  20. No “switch to day mode” for PDF in new version.

    by dstillman · May 13, 2025
    I'm not sure what you're referring to — you might be thinking of some functionality from a plugin — but in Zotero 7.0 you do this in via View → Use Dark Mode for Content and in the Zotero 7.1 beta the
