This fixes issue #58 where the page counter becomes invisible when a dark page has a white border.

The page counter was using the average luminance of the entire page to determine text color, but the counter is displayed in the bottom-right corner. When a page has a white border around a dark image, the average luminance might be dark (so white text is chosen), but the bottom-right corner where the counter sits is white, making the white text invisible.

This fix samples the luminance specifically in the area where the counter is displayed, ensuring the text color contrasts with the actual background behind it.

Added tests to verify the fix works for both dark pages with white borders and light pages with dark borders.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved page-counter text contrast by analyzing the image area behind it.
    • Counter text now remains more readable across different image brightness levels, scaling, positioning, and scrolling.
    • Added a fallback for cases where the image area cannot be analyzed.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for counter color selection on contrasting images and scaled layouts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The page counter color now uses luminance from the displayed image region beneath the counter. The logic accounts for scaling, positioning, canvas dimensions, and vertical scrolling. It retains whole-image fallback behavior and adds focused tests.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Counter-region sampling and validation
cdisplayagain.py, tests/test_page_counter.py
_page_counter_color samples the bottom-right displayed image region and falls back to whole-image luminance when needed. Tests cover scaling, clipping, coordinates, region sizing, and light or dark luminance results.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4e5e4

On tall pages, the counter may still sample the wrong background and render with insufficient contrast, leaving the page number invisible in some bordered-page layouts. This should be corrected before merging.

Map canvas coordinates from the already displayed image dimensions.

_display_cached_image draws _current_pil at 1:1 and assigns those dimensions to _scaled_size. Lines 1324-1326 scale those dimensions a second time.

For an 800×1200 displayed image on an 800×600 canvas at scroll offset zero, this code maps the counter at y=588 to y=1176. It samples content outside the visible counter area. A dark visible area with a white lower border can still select black counter text.

  • cdisplayagain.py#L1323-L1343: remove the second scale. Calculate the image top-left canvas position from iw, ih, and _scroll_offset, then subtract that position from cx and cy.
  • tests/test_page_counter.py#L321-L384: invoke viewer._page_counter_color() with tk_root, _scaled_size, canvas geometry, and scroll state. Add the tall-page case above so the test fails with the current double-scaling logic.

Source: Coding guidelines

The previous implementation was incorrectly scaling the _scaled_size a second time. _scaled_size already contains the displayed dimensions, so we should not scale them again.

This improved implementation:
1. Calculates the image's top-left canvas position based on iw, ih, and _scroll_offset
2. Maps the counter position by subtracting the image position from the counter position
3. Added comprehensive tests including the tall-page case mentioned in the review
