Research direction
Start by reviewing Xreader's existing inverted mode and the proposed normal and inverted reduced-contrast states. Determine where document-wide display colors are applied and how a user-controlled setting could fit without targeting individual PDF elements. Done means the contrast adjustment works across documents in both modes and is controllable by the user.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
White backgrounds hurt my eyes, so I always use inverted mode; I greatly appreciate that this feature exists.
However, bright white text on a solid black background is also very straining to the eyes and it makes reading difficult.
Custom text/background colors are almost impossible to pull off due to the infinitely diverse and unpredictable nature of PDF files.
So, given this conundrum, I propose a contrast adjustment setting to help improve readability (controllable by the user).
- Normal view: White background, black text
- Inverted view: Black background, white text
- Normal view with reduced contrast: Light gray background, dark gray text
- Inverted view with reduced contrast: Dark gray background, light gray text
This could be applied broadly throughout the whole document without having to target specific elements. In a sense, this would be similar to how e-ink panels display documents - no pure white, no pure black.
