[Partially fixed] Thumbnail shadow bug

Post by Dreamer »

Only if you have non white background colour for window in Windows Display properties...

Solution #1 (easier):

Override Windows background colour setting - always use white colour as background - only if shadow is used in xnview.

Solution #2 (maybe even impossible):

Make white colour under shadow transparent.

I think this is more of a "feature" than a bug without a white background the thumbnail shadow is useless really. This can only be fixed by altering the colour of the shadow as well as the background colour.

It's "solution #1":

I mean "Override Windows background colour setting" here:

Display properties > appearance > advanced > item > window - color 1
(I use "RGB 224 224 224" colour here because I don't like white colour in all windows in Windows, e.g. in notepad)

"Always use white background when shadow is enabled" - I mean this option in xnview:

Options > browser > thumbnail > Use Shadow
