Change the background to display PNG images with transparent backgrounds

Post by SoCu »

Hi, I have PNG images with transparent backgrounds. These images have a barely visible white border—they’re masks. They would look better if, instead of showing the transparent background, they displayed a different color, such as black.

How can I change the background color—not for the entire app, but only when viewing images with transparent backgrounds—so that it doesn’t display that grid of white and gray squares?

Thank

Thanks user0, that information is what I found, but it said to set a solid color, and I was doing it wrong, I was deactivating that option
