Pdf viewer
Hello I would like to know if it's possible to set the pdf viewer background from microsoft edge beta to dark mode, since the light mode is really annoying.
- hmm yes it could be a bug, all PDFs are like that?
also try Canary channel, it has more features

HiCP_Lucci
this is a good suggestion to be implemented but currently the new Edge insider browser can't change the background of the PDF files.
so for example when viewing a PDF
you can't change the white background in the PDF file itself.
you can only change the sides to either white or black and it can happen from the Edge settings:
again this is a good suggestion and I hope developers implement it.
there are 3rd party PDF viewers such as Adobe and Foxit PDF readers that support this feature.
- How did you get the sides of the pdf to be dark? when I open it it shows in light mode even when dark mode is activated?

Hope this helped!
Glucksritter I already did that but my problem is that when I open a pdf the windows is white even in darkmode. Maybe it's a bug?
CP_LucciI wonder if Dark mode is turned on your PC if not turn it on and see if it works if already on please tell me!
OP is talking about Edge beta (Chromium based), your gifs and pics are about the Edge legacy (EdgeHTML)
