sry, i have only errors in your examples:
First is:

---------------------------
PureBasic
---------------------------
Zeile 26: TLG_CreatGadget(): Incorrect number of parameters.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

After adding the last parameter (i use 0 for this) comes a invalid memory

also i think the Subsystems a incorrect?

greetings

POLINK: fatal error: 1 unresolved external(s).

Check your files for subsystem, in the moment nothing run, but i think you
solve this problems. The Preview looks good

Now that was buggy.
Some thumbnails goes outside their square, either on the bottom or on the right side.
Some thumbnails are stretched to the wrong proportions. (Even square ones.)
If the thumbnail isn't stretched to the wrong propertions then the preview is.
There is no canceling of previews, so if I move the cursor quickly over one image and rests it over another, I have to wait for the first preview to appear and disappear before the second one shows up.
Some pictures are stretched to be too big for their preview windows, so that they overdraw the preview border and then are clipped.
Some previews appear partially off screen.
Flickers really bad on resize.
My cursor moves jaggedly over the gadget.
No space under the last items.
TLG_CreatGadget(): It's spelled Create.
Changing the size of the items doesn't reload them, only scales the old thumbnails up, which gives a blurry appearance.
The text doesn't use ClearType even if that is selected in the control panel.
The gadget can be resized horizontally so that some image boxes are partially cut off.
Selecting an item while the gadget is still loading items made it crash.
With threadsafe it still doesn't compile.
TLG_SetItemColor() doesn't do anything and also has the wrong statusbar hint in the IDE.
With bigger item text sizes the text is cut off at the bottom.

It does look *very* nice though.

Certainly does at that. And for a first effort, pretty damned good. I'm sure the kinks will be worked out in time.

Trond, I am almost afraid to ask you this question but...where were you when I was designing my Address Book software? I could have used that level of pulling apart (LOL).

As it is, I cannot get any of the 6,000 who downloaded it to say anything!!

@nicolaus What is the license on this lib? It's giving me ideas to use for future projects.

The screenshot looks nice, but on a lot of my pictures, it sadly doesn't look so perfect. (Probably not too hard to fix.)

as I'm working almost on Linux... will there be a Linux Version?
or did you use much API? (may you release the source?)

Well momently it is only a Windows version and it use about 80% of Win API.
If i have a stable version for windows, i take a look for a linux version.

Please can you make screenshots so that i can see what you mean?
