I'm trying to edit an image that is just one layer which is transparent. It's hard to see the content because of the default gray-black checkered background.

How can this be configured to white?

I'm looking for a proper solution; of course I know the obvious workaround of creating a dummy white layer underneath.

See Edit>Preferences>Interface>Display>Transparency>Check style

You can configure it to "White only"

  • Thank you! This question was asked before and the accepted answer was to create a white layer. It was asked again and closed as a duplicate of that one.

  • A small note: in Gimp 2.8.22 on Ubuntu 18.04, the "Display" preference panel is a top-level element of "Preferences", not a child of "Interface".
