XnViewMP 1.5.3 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


About / Help
About dialog - 'General' tab looks clumsy
Help menu - looks overwhelmed with options

Suggestion
  • About dialog
    • dialog
      - (optional) rename title from 'About' to 'About XnView MP'
      - rename OK button to Close
      - align button to the right
      - add F1 shortcut to About dialog (as there is no any help file/page, so why not)
    • General tab
      - (optional) remove 'Windows' from app name
      - move Contributors to Credits tab
      -- maybe increase font size of 'Contributors' heading, as Translators shall be its submenu
      - move Libformat reference to some other tab, eg Credits tab
      - remove .ini file reference since its available in Settings>Integration>Paths
      - change 64bits to 64-bit
      - registration
      not sure how registration info is visualized, but, eg in Mockup B, it can be shown under Social string as 'Registered to' (minor spacing adjustment required)
  • Help menu
    - move social site links into About dialog
    - reshuffle items slightly

done in 1.5.4,
but
- logo looks too big, I would shrink it down (~70%) until it feels organic
- I think "64-bit" is more correct than "64bits"
- its better to move OK button to the right
