App UI - controls - unify prev/next

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.6.5 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


App UI - controls
prev/next buttons have a different appearance

Suggestion

A
  • unify "First/Prev/Next/Last file" controls appearance
    • tools (32x32 icons)
      - add new "First/Last file" icons (hfirst/hlast), eg:
      icons_32_hall.png
      icons_32_first_last.zip
      OR just use existing 48x48 icons if they scale down without artifacts
      - use full set (First/Prev/Next/Last) in all tools
    • toolbar (48x48 icons)
      - unify "First/Last file" controls in Browser with Viewer mode
      -- use same icons
      -- make shortcuts (Home, End) explicit

B
  • read-only textboxes should have gray background
    white color is for normal, editable controls

C
  • unify Preview background color
    sometimes it is black, sometimes transparent? (eg Edit GPS, Change timestamp)
    - maybe add setting to set global bg color for Preview OR just reuse Viewer bg color

See issue for current status and some details.

Qt keep white as background when readonly

need to unify icons for file navigation controls (First/Last file) in Viewer/Browser

round icons - not sure I'd use them at all
in theory they can be used for frames (see Imagine), but frames and media should have the same icon style
however, existing flat media icons just look better

try Set gray background color for read-only QPlainTextEdit
