Darkmode does not change the color of the pdf (unlike iOS)

[Jaik]

On iOS, when night mode is toggled, then the pdf color is turned black. This is not the case in Chrome.
I tried workarounds, with Chrome extensions, such as DarkReader, but that does not work either.

Am I missing something?

@Jaik, you’ve already come across a thread where this is discussed (although further up, so perhaps you didn’t get to see it):

Dark theme for web app

@Tianyu_Li - as we discussed via chat, dark mode on our web viewer does not darken the PDF page. This is already possible on our mobile apps and planned for web - your +1 is now on the topic on our tracker.

On that same thread there are some workarounds discussed, although none viable/easy to invert the color of the page yet.

Dark theme for web app

In follow up, I think dark theme is an important accessibility issue (I have an eye condition off and on where I get significant photophobia - anything other than a dark screen in a dark room is literally painful). I hope PP can prioritize dark themes for the web interface, the pdf, and the mobile app soon. Meanwhile - workarounds: To invert the web app, you can go to edge://flags/#enable-force-dark and select force dark mode. [image] To invert the pdf on a mac involves a significant workar…

The PDF viewer will come back into focus for improvements/updates once we’ve implemented everything currently on the roadmap, so hopefully next year. I’ve added your +1 to this topic for the team’s consideration.

Hello Vicente

Thank you so much!

Yeah, I was hoping someone else might stumble over my post and knows a fix to use the enable dark-mode extensions within chrome extensions.

Unfortunately, in the Edge browser, Paperpile does not work for me. I have also opened up a ticket because of it. If I can get it to work with the “enable-force-dark”-command, I will switch to Edge.
