Browser - thumbnails - show transparency grid

[user0]

XnViewMP 1.9.8
Windows11 (25H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Browser - thumbnails
transparent thumbnails blend with background, which is inconvenient

Suggestion

• add 'Use transparency grid' option (enabled by default)
  as a child of 'Use alpha channel' in Settings>Thumbnail
  so that transparent images are more noticeable, like in digiKam and Bridge

Example

• thumbnails transparency
