Files and Images - Images/icons with white backgrounds difficult to see
Tyler Brennan
Quickly scanning over a files and images field, it can be difficult to see an image/icon that has a white background. Is there a way to default all uploads to show an image/icon that will easily show that there is something within the field? Word and PDF icons show up well. Something along those lines?

Hey Tyler Brennan, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide examples of the types of images/icons that are difficult to see due to their white backgrounds?
- Are there specific file types that you find are more problematic than others?
- Would a border or shadow around the image/icon help improve visibility, or do you have other suggestions?

Jon Darbyshire, in my experience, screenshots or images that are PNG or JPEG upload to SmartSuite as they appear, which in my case often have white backgrounds. Anytime I alter the file type to be a PDF or Word doc, it's not a problem. There's really no need to see the image reflected exactly as it is as an icon, so the more obvious the better IMO. I'm not familiar with a generic PNG/JPEG icon, but if there is one out there, I'd suggest going that route.
