Screenshot with transparency visible in main Explorer window, and absent in
menu

I'm afraid that there's a misconception here. While it might be a need for some
design changes, this request clearly has nothing to do with that; and the
design-related tasks need an own issue.

This issue is about the Windows icons that are mostly placed at
sysui/desktop/icons; and they have .ICO format. They *already do contain
transparent background*, and the background is OK when Explorer shows the icons
in the main window (see screenshot's right marked icon). But when an "Open
With" menu is used, the icon transparency is somehow ignored.

This might well be a Windows bug, where our advanced icon format (32-bit with
alpha) is converted to, say, 16-colors with mask... or something like that.
This is clearly a technical issue, that might have a technical solution (like
adding some dedicated icon formats to the resource), and is orthogonal to the
design considerations.
