Hi,
Sometimes, I try to find at a glance photos containing GPS data
Or photos with missing XMP data ...
With coloured icons, it would be much easier to see if a colour is missing, rather than grey small text !
See an example of colours on the right side

I can't find icons folder
Don't know either the name of the file I must look for, or the name of png files I could add ?
The only folder is ... \XnViewMP\UI\icons-48\
and in this folder , there are 141 png files, but none for iptc xmp exif gps ....

That's it
I created a "icons" folder under Xnviewmp
There I copied the sample you gave, named info.png
It works, I can change colours !

Ok, thank you
We have to reduce height to 11 pixels, and width 165 px.
(anyone can copy this sample, and paste it into icons folder )

Thanks! I love these, but unfortunately despite putting them into UI/icons-48 they're still showing as the old grey style icons for me... any idea what I'm doing wrong please?

Create a new folder named "icons" ... and use this one, instead of using existing folders
Copy info.png into this folder
restart XnViewMp

Thank you!

I've done that, is there a setting or a place to point the application to the new folder?

sorry, I've forgotten to say "icons" folder must be in xnviewmp installation folder
Are you using windows ? Is Xnviewmp installed in C:\Program Files\Xnviewmp ?
in this configuration, info.png must be placed in C:\Program Files\Xnviewmp\icons\ , and is automatically used .

Oh yay! Thanks so much - I had the icons folder in /UI/

It's working perfectly now!

On another PC (Windows 7 ), I'm using a new install of XnViewMP 1.3 (Zip version)
my coloured info.png is located in C:\xnviewmp\icons\
... but XnViewMP does not use it ...

why ?
I tried a 165x11 pixels , and 330x22 pix ...
What is the purpose of double size info.png ? How should it be named if used ?
Windows display is set at 125%

When I set Windows display to 100% , it works, I get colours.
When I set back to 125%, default icons are displayed.
But on this PC, 125% is required.
Is there a workaround ?
