Getting involved (as I have recently) with the horribly complex
world of colour, I suddenly realised that I had naively assumed that
the white page image of the preview window was the background colour
of the page. It was only when I read (in TeXdoc color) that :<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">The background colour of the whole page can
be set using \pagecolor. This<br>
takes the same argument forms as \color but sets the background
colour for<br>
the current and all subsequent pages. It is a global declaration,
so you need to<br>
use \nopagecolor to ‘get back to normal’. If that is not
supported, you may use <br>
\pagecolor{white} although that will make a white background
rather than<br>
the default transparent background.</blockquote>
<br>
that I realised that the white was a previewer artifact, and that
the page itself is transparent. <br>
<br>
That being the case, would it be possibly to (optionally) honour
this in the previewer so that one can check whether not one's page
background (or some part of the page background) is truly
transparent ? If so, then I would suggest that when "honour page
transparency" is true, an optional thin discreet border be
displayable around the limits of the page.<br>
