SumatraPDF has many advanced settings to customize look and behavior. To open advanced settings file: - menu Settings /Advanced options... - or with Command Palette: Ctrl + K, typeadv to narrow down to command, pressEnter to selectAdvanced Options... command This opens a settings text file in default.txt editor. Make changes and save the file. To reset to default settings, delete settings file. SumatraPDF will re-create it with default values. Most settings take effect immediately after saving the settings file. Some settings (e.g. UseTabs ) require closing and re-starting SumatraPDF.

Documentation for all settings is at https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/settings/settings Here are some things you can customize: - keyboard shortcuts - width of tab with Tab Width - window background color with FixedPageUI.BackgroundColor - color used to highlight text with FixedPageUI.SelectionColor - control scrollbar mode with FixedPageUI.Scrollbars (values:windows,smart,overlay,hidden ) Advanced settings file also stores the history and state of opened files so that we can e.g. re-open on the page Below is an explanation of what the different settings mean and what their default values are.
