App UI - viewer - overlay tools appearance consistency

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.4.5 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


App UI - viewer
appearance of overlay tools (background color, corners, borders) looks inconsistent

Suggestion
bring some consistency to Viewer overlay tools (see nomacs ui)
  • Info
    • change defaults
      - text color - white
      - background - black, opacity - 50% (transparent black looks much better than white)
  • Pan tool
    • visible area selection
      - change dash line to solid
      you may have dashed image selection and dashed rectangle in pan tool at the same time which does not look nice
      - make background area (around zoomed area) darker (like in acdsee)
    • border
      - add settings to modify width (to remove it completely) and maybe corner radius (imho not necessary)
    • position
      - add functionality to reposition to other corners
  • Histogram
    • border
      - add settings to modify width (to remove it completely) and corner radius (to remove it completely)
    • position
      - change default to top-right corner
  • Playbar (in Fullscreen)
    current play buttons looks outdated (win7 style?)
    - make them flat and simple


Example
  • nomacs
    all overlays enabled
