Image alternative text presence should be conveyed to the user

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

1. Open full featured example for the latest release.
2. Focus the first image.

✔️ Expected result

I suppose it makes sense 👍

On a side note, we could also spend some time on the UI icon. This was the best we came up with years ago but maybe we could do a little bit better now. It looks awfully similar to the show/hide icon but it shouldn't.

That's ok but it's a separate issue.
