[Bug Report] 7-zip[ped] archive not displaying defined background color

Using 2024.02.02 preview

"backgroundcol: 0,0,0" is not implementing a black background if the archive was created as a .7z file (either default setting or in Store mode).

I tried re-zipping my skins (based on default Black) in Store mode, but chose 7z rather than zip, which I'd always used previously, just not in Store mode. When I loaded the newly zipped skins, the background was white instead of black (as defined in skindef.txt). I tested using .zip format again both in default compression and Store mode, and both methods worked fine. I then tested the Black skin archive I downloaded from the "Foobar2000 Mobile:Skin file format" page, re-zipping it as .zip and .7z, in both default and Store mode. The .zip files worked fine, while both .7z files produced a white background.

I'm attaching both the .7z files of the default Black skin that I re-zipped for the tests.

Please don't compress skins with .7z, use plain zip only.
Zip is used for skin packages for convenience only, there's no need for compression when image files inside the skin archive are already compressed.
