Package: loupe
Version: 47.2-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
loupe has a serious issue, making it virtually unusable with most if not all images
containing a transparent background, as it relies on a broken algorithm to automatically
adapt what color loupe shows behind the image [1]. Making matters even worse, not using
the dark theme in Gnome will still cause this issue, as the author of loupe decided to
adhere to the HIG recommendation to always default to a dark background for apps
displaying rich content [2]. Without "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface
color-scheme prefer-light" it's impossible to work around the issue, affecting all
users of Gnome that haven't manually installed an alternative image viewer and made it
the default. The issue is also still present in v48.alpha from the gnome-nightly flatpak
remote.

Hi Richard,
thanks for this bugreport.
However, since this is an upstream issue all we can do is waiting for
upstream to fix this. I agree that this an annoying bug though.
best,
