Do you mean thumbnails of transparent PNG/GIF files? I noticed those end up with a black background because they're being converted to JPEGs which don't support transparency. Eventually I plan to have thumbnails keep the same image type as the image they're made from to solve that, so that the thumbnail background would be transparent. I could prioritize that for you for $20 to have it done within a week, otherwise it should be in 8.0 (sometime this summer) at the latest. Meanwhile there's no way that I know of to change the arbitrary background color that GD/ImageMagick set.

Prioritize at will and send me the bill. I'd like to have it done before adding more thumbnails. Thanks.
