SVG thumbnails rendered with white backgrounds instead of transparent

Slion opened this issue · comments

I was having an issue where Windows would render SVG thumbnails with a white background which is useless if you have a lot of white icons. Though I recalled that at some point after installing SVG See they were rendered correctly with transparent background.

It turns out I suspect PowerToys modified the registry to set a different SVG thumbnail provider for some reason.
Here is the relevant registry key:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.svg\shellex\{E357FCCD-A995-4576-B01F-234630154E96}
Which should be set to {4CA20D9A-98AC-4DD6-9C16-7449F29AC08A} if you are using SVG See.
In my case it was set to {36B27788-A8BB-4698-A756-DF9F11F64F84} by PowerToys I believe.

Reinstalling SVG See should fix it.
Just putting this here for the record, feel free to close this issue.

Hi @Slion

Does my problem is related to your fix ? Cause i check the registry and {4CA20D9A-98AC-4DD6-9C16-7449F29AC08A} is set.

I'm not sure what we are looking at. Just reinstall SVGSee and see if it helps I guess.
