Is there even a contrast option so people don't have to revert to light mode to read important stuff?

ITT we can see the difference between correct and useful.

It's a transparent image with black text. It's CORRECT that you can't see it on a black background. Technical folk will scream all day about this being the only answer. It's a blindness we have.

That said, it's not the intent of the image creator to have their image text unseen. So it's still wrong from a UX and a usefulness perspective.

But how do you even start to fix that? Any transparent image might have any color text that could end up invisible accidentally. Calculating and adjusting seems wrong. Clicking to change the background color seems wrong because how would you know there was any hidden text to begin with? It's a tough one.

GIMP, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc all seem to have no problem rendering images with a transparency on top of a checkerboard background layer by default

You know you can layer that transparent image on top of another background, or just simply another solid color. You gotta ask, what is the intent of rendering the image in question?

  • Is it to render an internal UI component, such as a button or emoji? If so, use the UI background color as the transparency background.

  • Is it to render an external source image, such as the Wiki post? Then either use whatever background color is encoded in the transparency image, or if that data isn't available, default the background of transparency images to white.
