Hello Loki@99,

I am sorry to repeat my comment, but I have already reported this issue to Tracker Support. It is encouraging that someone else sees this as a issue as I do.

  • The standard color of bookmark titles cannot be restored when the dark theme is applied.

So far, I have managed to work around this issue by using JPdfBookmarks. JPdfBookmarks is a PDF bookmarks editor that is no longer under development, but it is still very popular due to its free and multi-platform support (Windows, Linux and Mac OS).

  • https://sourceforge.net/projects/jpdfbookmarks/
There are fatal bugs in JPdfBookmarks, and some PDF files may not even open in the first place. When I have to use JPdfBookmarks because of the bookmark color issue, I always pray to God that JPdfBookmarks will handle the file successfully. I strongly hope that the day will come when we don't have to rely on JPdfBookmarks.

Best regards,
rakunavi

Hello rakunavi,

Many thanks for sharing your workaround! And I see that there is a ticket already raised in the other topic so we would be working on improvements on our side as well!

Kind regards,
Stefan
