I just downloaded it and I'm quite impressed with the ease of use of the color options. Just a few lines in a text file. I can swap between dark and light modes easily.

Does anyone know if the window background can be darkened at all? The window UI text color is controlled by the same setting as the pdf text color, so when using a dark background/light text mode the window UI text is very low contrast.

Not just that, but you can change the settings file while the reader is open and it will update immediately. I use a one-line cmd script to switch quickly between light and dark.

I have been using SumatraPDF in every job I've been "forced" to use Windows, but never knew it had a dark mode.

Thanks :)
