Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I view sprite sheets a lot and it's always frustrating that I have to count pixels or guess roughly what index a certain tile is.
Describe the solution you'd like
Having a grid overlay would be nice. It can be customizable by size or count in the Settings as either a direct width/height size per cell input or a number of rows/columns input. Then it can be toggled on/off by a toolbar button.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There really is no alternative as the current checkerboard feature has no way to change the size of the cells or where they appear relative to the image and it always appears behind the image. This makes seeing it behind opaque images impossible.
Additional context
None.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing checkerboard feature, its Settings integration, and toolbar controls in the ImageGlass codebase. Define how cell size or row/column count maps to the image and how the overlay is toggled; done means a customizable grid can be enabled and visibly positioned over opaque images.
