+1 for Alpha (transparency) channel support.

...agree with XnTriq's observations above.

Perhaps is better to note: The background should have the classical "transparent color" popularized by Photoshop

In latest 0.85 x64 even the preview pane shows a full white image, not only for white SVGs, but for all SVGs.

Opening the image works ok, but always shows a white background.

In latest 0.86 x64 the preview pane works again for svgs, but still with white background, so that white svg designs show a full white preview.

Even opening the svg shows a full white image for white SVG designs.

Maybe I'm not being clear: the SVG IS a white pushpin icon, but it has TRANSPARENT background, as you can clearly see here:

http://www.atipica.it/clienti/svgtest/pushpin.html

The problem is that XnView MP shows the white pushpin on a WHITE BACKGROUND, which is not correct: as in transparent PNGs, the transparent background should be rendered with a checkered pattern, or at least we should be able to choose a different color...

QT Lib has a limited SVG support, it seems that for this file the transparetn background is not rendered correctly

So you're saying that you've got other SVG files with transparent backgrounds that do get rendered correctly?

Could you please post one of them here?

Or could it be a bug just like this one:

Now it's working properly, and shows a checked background under the SVG graphic, even when the graphic is not white, but the background doesn't respect its settings (tools, settings, view, view, use checkboard pattern+colors+size), neither in the browser nor in the single file view.
