I have tried Windows Theme trick in RS Basic's WinAPI, without joy.
When you set #PB_Explorer_DisplayMode with #PB_Explorer_LargeIcon the result is icons that are bigger than tiny, but nothing like Window's explorer where a large icon is approx 90 x 90 pix and image files display their image, a very wanted feature.
So is there a way to get PB's Explorer List Gadget to do this?

Actually, since I'm interested in image files, I have experimented making my own thumbnails and arranging them on a canvas. That actually works very well, might be worth persevering (unless of course the Explorer List Gadget can do it).

Maybe Rashad's code here can be done with the gadget's hWnd? -> viewtopic.php?p=566433#p566433IdeasVacuum wrote:is there a way to get PB's Explorer List Gadget to do this?

Hi Barry - the gadget already has similar constants. I have not looked into it too deeply but I don't think it is doable. If it was, I would expect it to have already been done by someone, somewhere
Now that I'm looking at a Canvas solution, I think I can define a more User-Friendly solution for the interactivity required, so I'm going to try that.
