XnView Software

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

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

Suggestion

• decrease shadow strength at top and left sides (like in win file explorer)
  to make it barely visible, but enough to distinguish image from background of same color

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

Example

• XnViewMP vs Win File Explorer
