How to change the background color in SumatraPDF reader?

Question

How to change the background color. I would like to change it to something easier to read, is there an option to change this anywhere?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I believe it's not possible.

The -bgcolor argument will only change the background color of the start-up screen.

Answer 2

If you run SumatraPDF with the command-line option -bg-color 0xffff99 it will launch SumatraPDF with the new background color, and save the background color as your default.

The 0xffff99 part is the hex code for a lighter yellow.
