XnView MP (Windows + Linux) 1.11.4 beta 2 for Qt6

Post by HanVroon »

Hi Pierre,
I will try to test a while. Need to sort and administer my holiday pictures, so I will do that with the QT6 version.
For now I notice some not to be ignored differences in margin/padding of some widgets.

Like the tab bar and menu bar are much higher, and there is a bigger margin at the left in Favorites, Catalog filter and Categories.
Is that what it is, or is there some tweaking still to be done.

The difference in Program folder size seems to be xnviewmp.pdb of 150 MB in the QT6 version.

Regards,
Han

It seems that you use the custom theme?

Correct.

I just tried the provided themes, like Dark or Grey, and they look fine.

do you have changed the default custom theme? I see little difference, but not like yours...

I have changed the default custom theme a lot.
Not everything is covered in the cusom theme (C:\Program Files\XnViewMP\UI\style_sheet.qss), like bottom tabs.

I made three screenshots:
XnViewMP-Qt6-CustomHan.png
- My style_sheet.qss from stable Qt5 version.
XnViewMP-Qt6-CustomPierre.png
- Your style_sheet.qss from C:\Program Files\XnViewMP\UI
XnViewMP-Qt6-Grey.png
- The build-in grey style.

The two cusom versions, "yours" and "mine" don't look very different in padding/margin perspective.
Both have clearly larger menu areas, a higher menu bar, also the tabs are higher.
The grey style as well as the other built-in styles shows a much more compact menu, less high menu and tabs, like it was in the Qt5 version.
So, I have no idea what changed in Qt6, but the custom theme behaves different from the internal themes.

It's just cosmetic, but I like the more compact layout (less margin or so) better.

Regards,
Han

PS: I checked the phpBB option "Notify me upon replies by default:", maybe I reply earlier then :-)

I like thumbnails list if from top toolbar to bottom
I usually keep 3-4 thumbs in a row
So preview tab is bigger
On the left side folders, categories, favorites (in side tabs)

Id want preview tab be separate from properties/histogram/exif/etc - side tabs but preview there where it's now.
