😢 Limitations
- Popup menus do not have proper styling on some platforms.
- currently using CSS filter functions in order to make the pdfs dark, however this is rather slow.
✅ To-do
- Make prettier, more curves. Basically redesign zotero a bit
- Add more themes
- Add user preferences
- Write contributing guide
💪 Contributing
You're help is very welcome! However, getting setup for Zotero plugin development is a bit of a pain in the ass.
What you need to do
- Download Zotero 60 ESR
- Git clone
- yarn
- do the zotero plugin stuff (expound on this)
- Launch zotero with --debugger and -somethingcaches
- Launch Firefox 60
- In Firefox, go to devtools, go to settings, click "enable remote debugging" and the one next to it that's also about debugging.
- In Zotero, go to setting, advanced, config editor, look up "debugging" and click on "allow remote debugging"
- In Firefox, click the hamburger menu in the top right -> web developer -> Connect...
- Enter localhost:6100
- Connect
- Click "Inspect Main Process"
Wow now you can finally do things.
