Description

Your idea

Make images in the palettes display with a contrasting background in their cells when using Dark Mode.

Problem to be solved

When I add an image with a transparent background to a Palette in MuseScore, the image is not visible in the palette cell if I'm in dark mode. This is because the image itself is black, and when the background is transparent, the dark mode background color (which is also black) shows through, leaving the image invisible.

Prior art

Either make the background for images default to white, or put an option in the "properties" for the cells in the palettes to customize the background color.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the palette cell rendering and dark-mode image handling in the MuseScore desktop UI, then reproduce the invisible transparent-background image case. Done means palette images remain visible in dark mode with a contrasting cell background.
