XnView Software

XnViewMP 1.4.5 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

App UI - viewer
appearance of overlay tools (background color, corners, borders) looks inconsistent



Suggestion
bring some consistency to Viewer overlay tools (see nomacs ui)

• Info
  • change defaults
    - text color - white
    - background - black, opacity - 50% (transparent black looks much better than white)

• Pan tool
  • visible area selection
    - change dash line to solid
    you may have dashed image selection and dashed rectangle in pan tool at the same time which does not look nice
    - make background area (around zoomed area) darker (like in acdsee)
  • border
    - add settings to modify width (to remove it completely) and maybe corner radius (imho not necessary)
  • position
    - add functionality to reposition to other corners

• Histogram
  • border
    - add settings to modify width (to remove it completely) and corner radius (to remove it completely)
  • position
    - change default to top-right corner

• Playbar (in Fullscreen)
  current play buttons looks outdated (win7 style?)
  - make them flat and simple

Example

• nomacs
  all overlays enabled
