BugHelp wantedc: Design / UI

Description

Now that in Matomo our top bar is colorful, it does look much better for users to upload a custom logo with a white or clear font and colors. This looks great in the web UI, and in the HTML email reports:

UI Top bar: looks good

top bvar

HTML Email: looks good

top bar email

PDF report: hidden logo white on white

white logo

Solution

If it could look nice, maybe a solution could be to include the top bar at the top of all pages of the PDF report?

Research direction
Investigate how PDF reports are generated in Matomo, likely in the PDFReports plugin or core classes. Look for code that renders the logo in PDF headers or body. The issue suggests adding the top bar to all PDF pages; examine the PDF generation flow and find where the logo image is placed. Check if there is a color mode or transparency handling issue.
