Consistent checkerboard background for transparent color previews

I have another small UX suggestion related to colors and transparency.

The request

Show a checkerboard background for any transparent color preview, consistently across the UI, not only in some contexts.

In the screenshots attached:

  • The checkerboard background is visible in the color preview inside the color picker (great :+1:).

  • However, the same transparent color appears with a solid background in other places, such as:

    • the color preview swatch next to the color field

    • gradient color stops

This makes it harder to immediately recognise when a color includes transparency.

(Screenshots attached for clarity.)
