Hello,
It's essential to have a true dark mode that toggles paper and ink colors seamlessly. Selecting dark paper with white ink isn't practical for printing and can lead to excessive ink usage. Onenote’s implementation of dark mode is a great example to follow. A genuine dark mode would save ink and streamline the user experience. https://www-redhumana.com

I absolutely agree

It’s illegible!

Me too, I want Goodnotes to be in light mode regardless of my device choice

Please, add it! No point in using goodnotes for taking notes in a pdf, if one can’t read it for a longer time😣

I am waiting for this feature for years....

Yes, goodnotes aesthetic will be greatly improved by this.

A great idea!

Please give users a customizable or at least neutral UI.

PLEASE! The blue is so ugly.

I’d love to see the nav bar color changed to a more neutral, less distracting color.

You could probably consider this a purist request, but I’ve always found the navy blue navbar to be unappealing and distracting.

I’m not too interested in offering exact solutions, because I trust that good developers will make good decisions regarding UI and implementation.

But if I thought about it for a moment, potential solutions could be:

● Navbar colors that match the journal cover
● Simple user preference w/ preset colors and a custom color swatch option
● The ability to change the navbar for each notebook (wow, actually this would be great because it’d be very indicative of what you were focused on, and could coincide with the cover)
● Idk, what do you think would be a good solution?

Another user mentioned hiding the navbar - that’s probably an even better idea, so the page is the full size of the screen.

Ultimately this suggestion came about because I do like the idea of writing in an app that’s all white like a piece of paper.

I don’t need fancy skeuomorphism, just for the entire UI to be color matched with the paper.

I included some mockups that help to showcase this idea, which could even be supported with dark pages.

This basic feature should've been released way back before.

dark background for pdfs

Agrees! Both CollaNote and Notability have such Smart Dark function. GoodNotes, please! It's must have feature in noting app for protecting eyes and improve sleep quality (for our sustainability to be able to be a good customer. lol.)

This is a must-have feature, it's impossible to spend hours reading papers in a white background even with the blue-color filter.

I had GoodNotes 5, and then I purchased GoodNotes 6 as well. It is disappointing that they haven't added a PDF dark mode to the app. I read a lot of published papers, and reading them on a white background for long periods irritates my eyes. I love the app, but I've already made my choice and switched to Notability. It's a shame that the company hasn't respected a simple user request for years.

That would be an amazing feature

This is a huge feature that needs to be added!!

please add pdf dark mode

Goodnotes! What's the hold up on this? I beg you, please make this the next major implementation.

Signed,
A university student needing this feature badly!
