XnView Software

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 (5.77 KiB) Viewed 4001 times

    icons_32_first_last.zip

    (7.3 KiB) Downloaded 79 times

    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

    

    controls_prev_next_icon_shortcuts.png (7.77 KiB) Viewed 4066 times

B

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

  

  controls_readonly.png (765 Bytes) Viewed 4062 times

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

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.7.2. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

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
