## What it is
A Zotero plugin that applies a dark Nord-based theme to the Zotero UI and PDF reader, with quick toggling between PDF dark-mode filters and minor UI polish. Development has ceased since Zotero 7 ships native dark mode.

## Use cases
- make zotero dark mode
- dark theme for pdf reading in zotero
- reduce eye strain reading papers at night
- invert pdf colors in zotero
- nord theme for zotero

## When to choose
- you are still on Zotero 6 and want a dark UI and dark PDFs
- you prefer the Nord colorscheme and extra UI animations

## When to avoid
- you use Zotero 7 or later, which has native dark mode
- you need fast PDF rendering, since the CSS filter approach is slow
- you need maintained software with bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: theme, ui-components
- domain: developer-tools, accessibility
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: zotero, dark-mode, pdf-reader, nord-theme, reference-management, desktop
