Labels of images on the map are nearly invisible in certain map views, like the Google Satellite or Hybrid views. See attached screenshot.
Maybe the file name could be underlaid with a 50% grey rectangle?

As far as I can see Google allows only one color for the "label" (in this case, the file name). No background or shadow or other effects which would make it stand out better,  But the Google Maps API is vast and maybe I have overlooked something. I'll check.

Solved. As I said, the Google Maps API and OSM API are vast... ::)

IMatch now chooses the label color dynamically, based on the active map provider and type.
For Google Satellite and Hybrid it uses white text and for the street and terrain it uses black. I've did similar adjustments for the OSM-based OSM, Bing and Stamen maps.
