I cannot find any option to change the default white background of the layers panel thumbnails in Illustrator CS6, thus all white objects are invisible and I cannot quickly work on them. I've found related questions via Google, but from 2009 and without solution, so probably, someone at present time knows how to deal with this issue?

It's been reported to Adobe for years.
It has been requested to at least add a light/dark toggle or something.
But, in the end.....
There's nothing the end user can do to alter the thumbnail background color.

@Ilan seems okay, but that only works when the transparency grid is showing. A black background while working on objects is not always wanted and can be distracting. FOr CS6 it only works on the Object level from what I can tell. It's a decent workaround, but not ideal.– ScottMar 21, 2014 at 15:13

@Scott yes, this is the level I wanted it to work. It is not a perfect solution, probably gimmick one, but it is better then nothing at all $)– IlanMar 21, 2014 at 15:15

So you would say it worked reasonably? I am interested in knowing if it worked.– bentehMar 21, 2014 at 15:29
With the help of one well known Ai programmer I've found some interesting solution:
View->Show Transparency Grid and set the colors of the grid to black-
This will give some nice black background to the thumbnails -
