CONFIGURATION
The default appearance and behaviour of zathura can be overwritten by modifying the zathurarc file (default path: ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc). For a detailed description please consult zathurarc(5).
SYNCTEX SUPPORT
Both synctex forward and backwards synchronization are supported by zathura, To enable synctex forward synchronization, please look at the --syntex and --synctex-editor options. To support synctex backwards synchronization, zathura provides a D-Bus interface that can be called by the editor. For convince zathura also knows how to parse the output of the synctex view command. It is enough to pass the arguments to synctex view's -i option to zathura via --syntex-forward and zathura will pass the information to the correct instance.
KNOWN BUGS
If GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS is enabled you will experience problems with large documents. In this case zathura might crash or pages cannot be rendered properly. Disabling GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS fixes this issue.
