Thanks!

Is the scrollbar in Zathura supposed to be operable with the mouse?

I see a scrollbar, which gets brighter when I mouse over it, and which has arrows on the top and bottom, but if I try to click or drag anywhere on the whole scrollbar, there's no response.

Yes, this was caused by the latest gtk update and we've already released a new version (0.3.3) that fixes this behaviour. The archlinux package has already been flagged out-of-date so I guess it won't be that long that it gets updated.
All the best

Is there anyone I can poke to update the package? I've tried compiling from source, but there are some issues I run into, which is why I'm waiting for the official package. Thanks!

In order to ease the pain until the package gets updated, paste this into ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

GtkScrolledWindow .undershoot.top,
GtkScrolledWindow .undershoot.top:backdrop,
GtkScrolledWindow .undershoot.bottom,
GtkScrolledWindow .undershoot.bottom:backdrop,
GtkScrolledWindow .undershoot.left,
GtkScrolledWindow .undershoot.left:backdrop,
GtkScrolledWindow .undershoot.right,
GtkScrolledWindow .undershoot.right:backdrop {
    background-color: transparent;
}

Thank you!, I was also waiting for the update on the official repo, but this work flawlessly in the meantime.

@Rayonant, there is an aur package, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zathura-git/, that contains the fixes.

Thank’you very much @ball !!

What is the development status of the epub plugin? I tried it yesterday and couldn't even get a file to load, did the development stop? I can't find an epub reader with vim-like keybindings for daily usage, and since I use zathura for pdfs already it seemed like a pretty sweet deal to have that plugin working.

You can install the zathura-mupdf-git package from the AUR and you will have epub support!

Best regards

That's great, thanks! Will do for now, any idea when this will get in the repos since it requires zathura-git too?

We will probably release a version of this in the next few weeks!

It loads the file alright, but I'm getting some errors loading .gif files... I tried loading the epub file with the latest mupdf and got the same result, it seems like an upstream issue and I'll probably report it since I don't see any libraries in the repos or AUR that can solve this problem. Oh, and is there a way to apply custom formatting over epub files?

I'm glad zathura now can handle almost everything I throw at it!

Thanks so much, that saves me a lot of trouble!

Updated zathura (0.3.2-1 -> 0.3.3-1) and girara (0.2.3-1 -> 0.2.4-1) today, but now it's not able to open any PDF documents, saying:

error: could not load plugin /usr/lib/zathura/pdf.so (libgirara-gtk3.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
error: Unknown file type: 'application/pdf'

Which is caused by zathura-pdf-mupdf (libgirara-gtk3.so.1 => not found). But the plugin has no new release!

The plugins need to be rebuilded against the new version and the packages of those are already flagged out of date!

I've just scrubbed my AUR build of Zathura 0.3.3 and upgraded to the one from the main repositories. I still can't move the scrollbar with the mouse so I guess that the answer to my question in post 552 is no, that's not a feature. Is this on the roadmap at all?

Also, the horizontal scrollbar, and the bottom row or two of the vertical scrollbar, are covered over by the inputbar and/or statusbar when they are visible. I see that's on the bug tracker here though.

Hello. Can I make dual page view start with second page? Because if I read magazines, there is title page, and I have wrong offset of pages.

Hello guys,

I am looking for a PDF viewer where I can change its display colors. For example, I wanted to be able to change from Solarized, Septia to Black/White default colors. I read a lot a long the day.

Using the following code I could put the solarized to work, but as default. I want to toggle from default to it.

 
set recolor-darkcolor "#93A1A1"
set recolor-lightcolor "#002B36"
set recolor true

Any ideas? Thx

You can use the ^r shortcut to toggle recoloring.

Best regards

bartuka · 2015-06-28 12:49:45

Hello mlq,

Using the code I posted, my pdfs are opened in solarized mode by default. When I hit ^r nothing changes. =/

If you want black & white to be default, you should set recolor to false.

bartuka · 2015-06-28 16:33:13

karkhaz, if I set recolor to false and then I hit ^r to change the default to solarized on a specific PDF, I get nothing.

EDIT: Sorry, nvm. I mapped the ^r in a wrong way. Works! thx karkhaz.

Hi guys,

I think zathura is a great piece of software.
I can't find how to scroll with the mouse wheel. It was mentioned in page 16 of this thread (by replax) but I can't find a way how to set that up. Is it possible to get the functionality of scrolling through pressing the mouse wheel and moving the mouse up/down? If yes it'd be nice to if someone could show me how.

I'm very new to linux so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.

Thank you.

Arch Linux
