Kay,
I'm not sure if this is the same in FC 4, but it's a start.

If you can locate the cfproperty tag for the thumbnail image (in FC 5, it's
in core/packages/types/dmImage) you can set the pad color by changing the
color in ftPadColor.  See property below.

<cfproperty ftSeq="26" ftFieldset="Image Files" name="ThumbnailImage"
type="string" hint="The URL location of the thumnail of the uploaded image
that should be used in " required="no" default="" ftType="Image"
ftDestination="/images/dmImage/ThumbnailImage" ftImageWidth="150"
ftImageHeight="150" ftAutoGenerateType="Pad"
*ftPadColor="##ffffff"*ftSourceField="SourceImage"
ftCreateFromSourceDefault="true"
ftAllowUpload="true" ftlabel="Thumbnail Image" />

I know you have read Daemon's position on modifying directly in the core,
but I agree with you on this small attribute.  Keep a log of small changes
you'll have to make when you upgrade core's.

Good Luck!
