title: Setting background color/pattern of Inkscape workspace to distinguish transparency
body: <p>How can I set the appearance of the background area in Inkscape so that I can tell the difference between an image with a white background and an image with a transparent background?</p>
  
  <p>Many other image view/editing programs have a checkered background for exactly this reason, but I couldn't find anything like that for Inkscape.</p>
