XnView Software

Yes, and I use 'Browse' button to return.
IF 'Edit mode' = 'View mode' ?

Pierre, if you think [x} must exit app to keep similarity in action with 'browser' or 'view', then you have to add additional button -'back to browser' in Compare - as in View mode. Because there is no other way to return to browser with mouse click (with tabs off).

if you have some view or browser, and you click on'X', the app quits, so it must be the same with compare tab. I think for Compare window as an additional, temporary, helper tool - to choose image by some criteria and return to main window So it is must not quit the appl when closed, but return to ...

sorry about CTRL key, so without tabs, you have only ESC to close the compare window Only Esc key is closing the 'Compare' window properly (returning to Browser), but pressing [X] button will not return to Browser, it will exit the program - I think this is a bug. Pressing [X] button on 'Compare' m...

the 'X' button is the close button for app - Yes, is there any other way to close this window - I think NO. But I don't press Ctrl- why to press it and what dialog ? I just select 2 files and go to menu>tools>compare or from my toolbar. Again TABs are NOT in use. P.S. Ok - there IS another way to cl...

xnViewMP without tabs , select 2 files and click Compare in menu. Compare window will open (it is not second window together with main appl window as in xnViewClassic , but only Compare !), there is only one way to close this window - by "X" button on top-right corner. This is equal to - exit xnView...

Usually this is achieved by double click on tabs or on empty space below (vertical) tabs.

Portable version of xnView Classic is available here: http://portableapps.com/apps I personally use zip version with settings inside xnView directory. You may check with regCompare or TotalUninstall or similar software if it is "enough portable" for you Then you will see those keys XnTriq posted abo...

carni is talking about Display/View Mode:

Entire interface is going grey - possibly this is fasted method (?)

If I apply FusionDark theme everything is OK, except background colors for preview window and full-screen. (Browser background not changed too, but Thumbnail Cell>Background can be disabled for better theme appearance) This force me to use different INI files for dark and light themes if I want full...

@whismerhill:

Try X-Mouse Button Control

It's an excellent free program for mouse buttons customization.
Allows to use different buttons settings for different applications.

Still same in xnViewMP-64 v0.84
To reproduce:
1. Drag toolbar to dock it wherever you like, but not in default position. Or leave it floating.
2. Open Settings window and close it with OK.
-> Toolbar will jump back to default horizontal position.
Annoying.
