Request: Restore Transparent or Dark Thumbnail Backgrounds in CC Libraries

[Bailey_BMF]

Hi Adobe team,

I’ve noticed that recent updates to Illustrator have changed the thumbnail background in CC Libraries to white. This has made it very difficult to see white or light-colored graphics, especially logos or icons, since they blend into the background and become almost invisible.

Previously, the transparent or darker thumbnail background made it much easier to preview and organize assets — especially when working with branding files that include white elements.

Our ideal use for Libraries is to quickly navigate branding elements like logos, icons, and design components. This feature has always helped us work more efficiently and stay organized. However, now that we can't see the thumbnails for white graphics, it's significantly slowed down our workflow and made visual navigation much harder.

It would be incredibly helpful to either:

• Restore the original transparent/dark background, or

• Add an option to toggle thumbnail backgrounds (light/dark/transparent)

•  

Thank you for considering this! I really value the Libraries feature, and improving visibility would make a big difference in workflow and organization 🙂

Chat soon,
Bailey
