[FEAT] Mica background, default zoom options, app behavior & more

[DanRotaru]

I really enjoy the app, is is very fast, lightweight but there are missing some features that are important for me:

1. Mica background - for some reasons there is no option of Mica background toggle, it will feels more native like. I suppose a lot of people want it, and with some more options like Acrylic, transparent, custom color (with transparency edit) and so on.
2. Default image zoom (especially for small images) - its weird that some basic stuff like this is missing, when i open an image it is ok, it fit to the window size, which is cool, auto adjust, but if the image is small, it looks horrible. I would add an option if image size is more than window size to open it in fit window size, but if not, open image in 100% zoom.

Good:

Horible:

What I expect/want (by default):

3. No option to disable blue border while zoom - I'm ok with this feature, but its weird, you cannot disable it.

4. No option to disable double click - there are a lot of options, which is good, but there is no option to disable/edit behavior of double click, for me this is double click is useless and annoying, and I want to edit it's behavior or cannot disable it at all, which is weird. As well there is a bug, if double click on next image button, it toggle double click like on image, it should do nothing (switch next, next image).

5. Info panel - the app already have controls (pin, minimize, maximize, close) buttons on right when hover to right corner with mouse, why to not implement the same with basic info panel, which will feels the same, right now the info panel is feels like an functionality from another app). So, maybe make it by hovering to top right corner and show it by hovering, and as well move it to more top corner, feels like app title. As well there is a bug, if the file is less MB, instead of dynamic displaying KB, MB it displays 0.00 MB.

Something like ImageGlass, app title:

As well will be great if is possible to make the info panel visible always, and move the zoom info there as well.

In general the app is great, you did a great job, thank you :)
This was my feedback, hopefully it will help!

Hello, thank you for your feedback! Regarding the points you mentioned:

Mica background: I will give it a try, but it might take some time to implement.

Small image scaling: The current handling for small images is actually exactly the logic you are expecting. If you are seeing different behavior, it might be a special edge case. If it's convenient for you, could you please provide the specific image for me to debug? (Sending it in a zip archive is recommended).

Blue borders: The blue border indicates that there are image pixels located outside the window in that direction (meaning the image can be panned that way). You can disable this by going to Settings -> Interface -> Window -> Show Edge Indicators.

Double-click behavior: Double-clicking to quickly toggle the zoom state is a feature I use frequently, and I personally think it works fine. However, I might add an option to customize the double-click behavior in the future.

Info panel: Both the lite and full info panels can be dragged to change their position. Furthermore, multiple optimizations have already been made (including customizable content, separators, new background colors, etc.). Please give it a try once the new version is released.

The new version will be released soon. Once you receive the update, please test whether the issues mentioned above are resolved. Looking forward to your feedback!

Thanks for your answer!

Regarding your answer,

• Small image scaling. Just use any small image, for example this one (click on it and save that svg locally, and just open it). The image by default opens with scale to fit the window size, but I prefer to keep the image 100% zoom for images that are smaller than window size. For example from the attached image (128x128).

• Blue borders. Works for me, thank you!
• Double-click behavior. Someone like me is not using it, and there is no possibility to disable/edit behavior. And did you see the bug what i mentioned? The double click is not prevented on button next/previous, which for users who want to switch quickly to next picture (by clicking next button) will be very annoying, cause it zoom in/out the window.
• Info panel, great to listen this, more customizations, more individualism:)

I've also identified one more bug, regarding with one specific svg, Idk what's wrong, but in browser this svg is rendered correctly. You may check, it is single case, so you may not waste much time for fixing it, svg viewer for me is useful feature, especially because its not using Webview2 and similar high RAM memory usage.
In app rendering:

In browser rendering:

Thank you a lot, waiting new version and I'll test it!

Hello, I will adjust the default display size for SVGs. Regarding the other issue you mentioned where a specific SVG does not render correctly, please send me that file so I can test it.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to attach it.

Will be good to display 100% size for all smaller images not only for SVGs.
For example for favicon.ico, it as well looks bad by default when opening it.

It opens:

I want this:
