  1. 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.
  2. 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.

    @joaofrgomes and others, please test dark mode with scanned papers in the latest beta — there are some experimental changes.
  6. 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

    Assuming you mean light/dark mode and not the reader theme:
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. [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).

    by wakoma · June 8, 2025
    I don't see " View → Use Dark Mode for Content" in 7.1 beta.36+1.

    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
  14. 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

  16. 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

    by ryanwwest · May 3, 2025
    like Adobe Acrobat because of rich annotations, dark mode, plugins, etc.
  19. pdf file corruption all pdf files now are black

    by enozkan · May 3, 2025
