Settings - thumbnails - appearance - improve settings

Post by user0 »

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

Settings - thumbnails - appearance
thumbnail's Border size setting affects padding, not border size, which is inconvenient

A
  • add Label group
  • fix Border size setting
    - rework Border size to increase border size instead of Padding
    - add Padding size setting
  • add Rounded border functionality (see FastStone example)
B
same as A, plus
  • split 'Thumbnail cell' group into
    • Cell
      • move Border and Spacing settings here
    • Cell background
      • rename Background → Use Base color
      • add 'Use color from' [Rating, Color label, Format] (see Lightroom example)
        so there will be 3 layers:
        1. filelist bg color
        2. bg color
        3. rating/color_label/format color

        cases:
        ☐☐ - use filelist bg color
        ☑☐ - use base bg color - same as current state
        ☐☑ - use rating/color_label/format color, if not available - use filelist bg color
        ☑☑ - use rating/color_label/format color, if not available - use base color
      • add Opacity
