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

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
