    Description

      Some transparent images, especially monochromatic ones are prone to be "invisible" on a background of the same color. 

      Consider using checker background commonly used when rendering images with transparency effects for preview purposes.

      To consider:

      • Do it with all transparent images? Rendering them on a background without the checkers actually looks very nice e.g. for icons, if their color is different from the background and can actually be made less discernable with checkers.
      • What about thumbnails? The problem is there too. 
      • Could we render white transparent images black instead, circumventing the issue? This could however wrongly suggest that the image actually is black. (would need dev research)
