Miscellaneous Windows Tips
Download Windows Freeware from SnapFiles
It's quite dangerous to download software from any site and install it on your PC. I mainly use SnapFiles site to get freeware software. It's been around for more than 10+ years and is reliable.
Sumatra PDF reader Dark Mode
For PDF viewers, Sumatra PDF is free and I prefer this over Adobe PDF viewer since it is light and provides more screen space. It's just a viewer, so it can't be used to sign or update any form-PDFs, however, it's good for reading. Get Sumatra PDF from here, https://www.snapfiles.com/get/sumatrapdf.html
To make it dark mode, see this page, https://oak.dev/2020/05/06/dark-mode-for-sumatra-pdf/
- Run Sumatra PDF
- File ⟶ Settings ⟶ Advanced Options
- This will open configuration file. Find FixedPage UI section and change/add:
TextColor = #eeeeee
BackgroundColor = #111111
GradientColors = #000000
