For a future consideration

It would be hepful if there was a fast and simple possibility to switch the background color of the preview window between the color preset in Preferences and white.

If you work with black and white images, it is usefull to alternately see it against a gray and white backgrounds.
I usually start with a gray background which is not too shiny and later I occassionaly change to white to see if the image does not result too flat or grim, which can easily happen when you create it in a more or less dark gray background.

I am aware that the white background can be also simulated with Add Border, Layout or Mat and Frame transformations, but for example an ON/OFF button on the main toolbar like Show clipped highligts/ shadows buttons would be much more flexible and handy.

Nothing to do with Preferences, Scripts or whatever. Just for temporary, immediate use. Just harcoded white, defaulting to OFF.

For the next release, I added a 3-button tool bar to set the border color to the preferences setting or black or white. There is also a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-B) that cycles among the three options. The icon images for the buttons in the tool bar are built on the fly so they reflect the current preferences setting for border color. I realize this is more than you asked for, but I have need something like this myself more than once, especially if the image has its own black or white border as part of the image.

That is perfect.
Thanks a lot.
