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

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
