Settings - thumbnails - appearance - add shadow parameters

[user0]

XnViewMP 1.9.8
Windows11 (25H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Settings - thumbnails
thumbnails shadow is the same from all 4 sides, which makes thumbnails blurry

Suggestion

• add parameters to alter thumbnail shadow
  eg
  - color
  - opacity
  - size
  - angle
  - distance
  - blur

• fix dpi scaling that stretches shadow gradient
  which look unpleasant (see example below)

Example

• XnViewMP vs Windows File Explorer
