XnView Software

XnViewMP 1.8.3
Windows11 (24H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Settings - thumbnails - appearance
thumbnail's Border size setting affects padding, not border size, which is inconvenient

Suggestion
A

• add Label group

• fix Border size setting
  - rework Border size to increase border size instead of Padding
  - add Padding size setting

• add Rounded border functionality (see FastStone example)

B
same as A, plus

• split 'Thumbnail cell' group into
  • Cell
    • move Border and Spacing settings here
  • Cell background
    • rename Background → Use Base color
    • add 'Use color from' [Rating, Color label, Format] (see Lightroom example)
      so there will be 3 layers:
      1. filelist bg color
      2. bg color
      3. rating/color_label/format color
      
      cases:
      ☐☐ - use filelist bg color
      ☑☐ - use base bg color - same as current state
      ☐☑ - use rating/color_label/format color, if not available - use filelist bg color
      ☑☑ - use rating/color_label/format color, if not available - use base color
    • add Opacity

Example

• FastStone

  

• Lightroom
