XnView Software

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.

Ok, not really a bug

And is it possible to fix/change it (solution #1 or #2 above) ?

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

Partially fixed in 1.80.1:

- fixed in Thumbnails view
- not fixed in Thumbnails & Details view
