Night theme for Zotero UI & Pdf
Also adds some animations and other UI changes.
Based on the [Nord](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord) colorscheme and prior work by [Rosmaninho](https://github.com/Rosmaninho/Zotero-Dark-Theme).
## ✨ Features
### ◼️ Dark UI
Easier on the eyes for those late night deadlines.

It's 2022, we can change the colors of PDFs.
Choice between two themes: a very dark one, and one that matches the background color.
### 🔁 Quick Toggle
Quickly toggle between different filters for the pdf

Once installed in Zotero, activate it: Tools > Night Preferences, and select "Enable Dark Theme".
## 😢 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
- [x] 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.
