Icons - overlay - add more sizes to avoid interpolation

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.8.3
Windows11 (24H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Settings - thumbnails - overlay icon
Overlay icons have 2 native sizes (12px and 24px) at which they look crisp and pixel perfect at 2 windows scales (100% and 200%).
However, at intermediate scales, readability is reduced due to interpolation. Smaller sizes are more susceptible to this problem than larger sizes.

UPD 1.9.6
more sizes have been added (15,18,21px)
Customization - browser - overlay icons



Suggestion
  • size
    • add more sizes for overlay icons to avoid interpolation at small sizes (approach similar to file type icons)
      eg 15px, 18px and 21px

    • allow user to change icons size
      in Settings>Thumbnail>Overlay icons
      eg 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, etc and maybe in between with interpolation
  • format
    • use .svg icons
      to programmatically adjust the color of icons to match the theme and style (dark/light)
