I'd prefer if the picture viewer had

1) An option for a solid color background instead of the desktop faded out (perhaps a strong Aero Glass-style blur would be OK as well)

2) A higher default zoom level. There's a lot of wasted border space (at least at my resolution of 1024*768)

3) A "Set as Wallpaper" button somewhere.

Otherwise, I would agree that Windows Picture and Fax viewer is soundly beat.

Nice, I was looking for a app to add text to pictures.

The photo viewer is nice and I like how they make it easy to switch back to the windows one. Anyone find out how well it works with a network setup? I backup my album to a network share and have other computers read that share but right now they only have read access.

+1 - I also wish that it had had a fullscreen mode like the Windows one. I like it but I suspect it's going to start annoying me soon.

If it helps any the background turns to grey instead see through if you press space bar...

I'd like if you could click on the background to close the viewer rather than chasing the close button. Even if it was a right click on the gray area to prevent accidental closes.

edit:

also wish scrolling was circular in that if you scroll to the end of the alavialble images (ctrl + mwheel by default) then it would wrap around to the start rather than just getting stuck on the last pic

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      Supposedly it's fixed on Series consoles: https://support.forza.net/hc/e...e-Issues-in-Forza-Horizon-6 This game is so much better than FH5, and it's all because of the map. It's diverse, big, and so much to see and do. I've bought every single Forza Motorsport and Horizon game, and by far my least played is FH5 at 100 hours, followed by the latest Motorsport. They've finally made a good one with FH6

    • Politically funny images of the World

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
