Transparency is no problem, we only use the bounding rect for the shadow effect.

I think of PDFs, (odf, txt, ...) documets and so on - almost all thumbnails.
IMHO mixing flat thumbails with shadow applied thumbnails looks bad (hee before.png).

So why not applying it to all thumbnails?

Yep whitelisting a lot of types is a no-go, but if we apply the shadow to all
thumbnails we only need to check if the current item is a directory.
