The big update of SumatraPDF was out yesterday [1]. There are a lot of bugs fix and improvement in the backlog [2].

this is my "dark mode" via advanced options, e.g. warmer page and dark background:

  MainWindowBackground = #191919
  FixedPageUI [
   TextColor = #282828
   BackgroundColor = #ebdbb2
   SelectionColor = #2d938f
   ...
  ]

what I have been doing so far is switch between other modes with autohotkey by overwriting `SumatraPDF-settings.txt`. I'd share the little script but it suddenly broke a while back

Dark mode and tab switching with the keyboard are 2 great additions to the best lightweight PDF reader EVER!!!

Tab switching with the keyboard was already possible previously, IIRC you can use Alt+<N> (or maybe Ctrl+<N>) to switch to the N-th tab.

yes, CTRL+TAB and ALT+<N>, I use them all the time.

Did they ever fix the issues around printing? I always ended up using a different PDF viewer just because of that.

(I wrote SumatraPDF).

Not yet but I'm thinking about how to improve it. Maybe next version.

It's such a good PDF viewer otherwise. I hate having to use something else.
