                               24x24 -> xxxhdpi 96x96.
    --background-color <arg>   Provide a custom background color to use

    --transparent-white        This is a trick so that viewers which do
                               not support the alpha channel will see a
                               white background (and not a black one).
 -w,--width <arg>              Width of the output file.
