<p dir="auto">When viewing a SVG image with a transparent background in file explorer, file explorer should NOT fill in the transparent area of the icon with plain white. It should display just as the file explorer icon of a png image with a transparent background does.</p>

<p dir="auto">I've been using <a href="https://github.com/tibold/svg-explorer-extension">SVG Explorer Extension</a> for several years to preview SVGs without opening them.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've just discovered PowerToys because I received an email from Windows Insider Program and I noticed they have the same problem of this extension: Legibility on a white background.</p>
<p dir="auto">As a Dark Theme user I solved the problem months ago, the gray background makes the light icons pop up and the blacks are not that bad.</p>
<p dir="auto">It would be great to have a checked background (The classic white and grey used for alpha channel) option to activate from the settings panel, would be useful in PNGs too!</p>
<p dir="auto">In my opinion previewing SVG without opening them should be a default in Windows, it's a popular format and i'm happy to see you're going in this direction!</p>
