don't knnow, it doesn't have to be opaque, well the default theme is,
but problably there could be themes with the opaque background as
translucent as the translucent one
maybe to make this more aderent to reality i could do that the opaque
is painted the svg as is with full opacity, and for the transparent is
painted as is if the svg found and the default background with some
more alpha if not found, probably it will take a bit long but at least
would tell the truth a bit more?
