Zotero Night Theme Guide
Overview
Zotero Night is a dark mode theme plugin for Zotero that transforms the entire UI — library view, PDF reader, note editor, and preferences — into a comfortable dark interface. Reduces eye strain during long reading sessions and matches system-wide dark mode preferences. Works with Zotero 7 and integrates with other Zotero plugins.
Installation
# Download latest .xpi from GitHub releases
# In Zotero 7: Tools → Add-ons → Install Add-on From File
# Or via Zotero Plugin Market
# Search "Zotero Night" in zotero-addons marketplace

### How It Works
1. Applies CSS filter to PDF viewer canvas
2. Inverts luminance while preserving hue
3. Special handling for:
- Figures/images: excluded from inversion
- Highlighted text: color preserved
- Annotations: maintain original colors
- Links: distinct clickable appearance
### Settings
- Brightness: 80-120% (adjustable)
- Contrast: 90-110% (adjustable)
- Invert images: on/off (default off)
- Sepia filter: 0-100% (for warm tones)
