The unexplainable picture should be wider than it's tall, but it's scaled wrongly.
It shouldn't go out of its square.
The big preview shouldn't be mostly off screen.
The text shouldn't be cut off like that.
TLG_SetItemColor(hwndtlg, #Red) didn't do anything.
The text should use ClearType if that is selected in the control panel.

The thumbnail is scaled correctly, but the preview is not.

Wrong preview after quick mouse move:

It would be nice if you could add a compiled example to the zip-file too!

thx

p.S.
I think the font-bug comes because of other DPI-settings between you and
the user..

Something like this helped me and should help you too:

Code: Select all

#MyDPI = 96
Global UserDPI = GetDeviceCaps_(GetDC_(GetDesktopWindow_()), #LOGPIXELSX)


Macro CorrectFontSize(FontSize)
	ProcedureReturn (FontSize * UserDPI) / #MyDPI
EndMacro


LoadFont(1, "Arial", CorrectFontSize(12))

Very nice :).. One suggestion though, which would make it a lot more user-friendly is to firstly add placeholder images for the thumbnails, like how when you open a webpage, the images that havent yet been loaded are replaced by a little icon, and then have a second thread that loads the images creates the thumbnails and replaces the image in the image gadgets... That way it would be a lot faster, and people wouldn't have to wait for all the images to load before utilising it.. because that could be a pain in the ass ;)
