How to change white background color of zathura?

Question

I want to change the white background color in zathura pdf reader.

I've tried for example

:set default-bg \#6db46 

but only the corners change into green.

Answer 1

I use "inverse color" (Ctrlr). Then change the dark black color to gray with :set recolor-lightcolor \#222222.

EDIT: I have dark background with dark borders after using those commands (defaults to inverted)

set recolor   
set recolor-lightcolor \#222222
set recolor-keephue
set default-bg \#222230

So you might want to try default-bg or light-color ones.
