Change direct image and SVG backgrounds to a customizable Photoshop-style checkerboard, solid white, or solid black. Enhance your web development and graphic design workflow with Custom Checkerboard Background! When opening direct links to transparent PNG, WebP, GIF, or SVG files, browsers often display them against a default stark black or white background, making it incredibly difficult to inspect fine details, dark edges, or true transparency. This lightweight extension solves that problem by instantly transforming the presentation of direct image links into a professional, Photoshop-style canvas. 🚀 KEY FEATURES: • 3 View Modes: Switch effortlessly between a Photoshop-style Checkerboard, Solid White, or Solid Black. • Dual-Color Customization: Fully customize BOTH colors of the checkerboard pattern using built-in color pickers to match your preferred theme (e.g., classic light grid or custom dark grid). • Auto-Centering: Automatically aligns and centers images and raw SVG elements perfectly on your screen for a clean, studio-like preview. • Floating Control Panel: A minimal, sleek capsule menu at the bottom-left corner allows you to change settings on the fly without ever opening the extension popup. • Persistent Settings: Automatically remembers your last selected mode and color palette across all image tabs. -------------------------------------------------- ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE FOR LOCAL FILES (file:///): To use this extension with local images or SVG files stored on your computer, please follow these simple steps after installation: 1.
