Default [Q] Need better gallery app

I am using gallery to select icons but the icons are black (and alpha transparent the rest) and completely non-visible in the gallery.

I am looking for any kind of Gallery replacement (best if can attach to the system gallery calling action) where the background is customizable or at least is not black
.to be or not?

Edit: Sorry I just noticed the black blackground thingy, that probably won't work sorry

DONATE TO ME
I think floating image can be configured to work like a gallery...Not sure though, but background colour is changeable.

@3rdstring: indeed I tried that one and it had just black background

@iinga: thanks but just tried and no go, it is not processing PNG files properly (no background transparency here so all I get all black floating squares) :/


so still looking for one app that can do what gallery does but with different background color ....

You can change the background to white in JustPictures!
It just has rather uncomfortable and not always working system of choosing image for external usage.

I think I just found the answer...

In QuickPic>Settings>General, choose Use light background. You'll need to click on the individual icons in order to see them against the white background.

The other way that "works" for me is to give the icons memorable names, and "view" them in a file manager, such as root explorer.
