1 week ago This doesn't seem related to #4226. TRANSPARENT_IMAGE is not available in normal images anymore anyway.
This is probably an issue of how the waveshare treats black and white (i.e. whether "on" means white or black).
If you are displaying the image with the standard lambda it.image(x, y, image_id);, you can try using it.image(x, y, image_id, COLOR_OFF, COLOR_ON); (or maybe the other way around) to see if this fixes your issue.
The problem
When using online_image component a white Image with Black Text gets displayed with black Background and white Text using type: BINARY. Using type: TRANSPARENT_BINARY the screen goes completly Black.
When using image component the same Image File is shown correct.
Maybe it can be fixed by adding type:TRANSPARENT_IMAGE to the online_image component like in Issue #4226
