Customize theme colors

Customize theme (colors)

Available in version 3.6 or later.

You can change colors of SumatraPDF UI by creating a custom theme using Themes advanced setting.

To create a theme:

use Settings / Advanced Options... menu (or Ctrl + K Command Palette, type adv to narrow down and select Advanced Options... command)
this opens default .txt editor with advanced settings file
find Themes array and add new shortcut definitions

Example of customization:

Themes [
    [
        Name = My Dark Theme
        TextColor = #bac9d0
        BackgroundColor = #263238
        ControlBackgroundColor = #263238
        LinkColor = #8aa3b0
        ColorizeControls = true
    ]
]

TextColor and BackgroundColor are for main window color and color of text.

If you use I (CmdInvertColors) they will also be used to replace white background / black text color when renderign PDF/ePub documents.

ControlBackgroundColor is for background of Windows controls (buttons, window frame, menus, list controls etc.).

LinkColor is a color for links. Typically it’s blue.

ColorizeControls should be true. If false we won’t try to change colors of standard windows controls (menu, toolbar, buttons etc.) so a lot of UI will not respect theme colors.
