Folder thumbnail background exceed boundary

[bdeshi]

If folder thumbnails are enabled, then the yellow border/background that denotes folders actually spill outside the allowed gridspace of a thumbnail.
This is clearly visible if padding < 4.
See how citadel.png & think-outside-the-box.png have correct padding, but citadel and demo folder thumb do not.

top:padding=3
bottom:padding=0

And in the bottom screencap (padding=0), also note that the yellow BG is overlapping with the column headers (in addition to the overlap pointed by the red arrow)

more: in addition to ^ , if Selection Style is set as Windows Theme, then the image/filename can exceed selection borders when padding is lowered.

padding = 0 here.

Wow. That's quite interesting. I had a similar issue before but with icons in Large Tiles mode. Never been able to reproduce it though.

I'll check it next year.

In Sammay's first post, his screen capture that shows absolutely no gap or padding side-to-side between the thumbnail images (I'm not referring to the folder thumbs, but the image thumbnails in the second row of thumbs). I have padding set to "0", but I always have a gap between the thumbnails (see capture below). Is there something else out there, either inside or outside or XYplorer I'm missing, that may be affecting this padding. In some situations, I'd like to achieve a zero gap between the thumbnails on the side and if I have captions off, also on the top and bottom. Maybe I should have started a new thread, but since Sammay had posted a picture of a thumbnail view showing absolutely no gap or padding between his thumbs I figured I'd use this old thread.

Capture is with padding at "0" and no captions.
Thanks for any help.

Padding=0 should work. Take care that Style=Plain, too.

[klownboy]

Wow, that's great and it's exactly what I want, but I've been playing with all the options and still have the gap. Your pic is most probably with "Zoom to Fill" which I've set "on" as well. And yes, I've always had the Style set to Plain which I believe is "0" in the ini file. Sorry for posting all these settings, but do you see anything that might be the cause?

The gap was there when the computer ran Windows 7. Now it's running 10. Thanks.

Edit: I set padding to "0" and Style to Plain on my Windows 7 laptop and got the same result....strange.

[klownboy]

Wow, something very odd is going on. I experimented further and discovered setting the padding in XYplorer.ini to "-2" results in having no gap between thumbs as seen below. I first set it to "-1" and saw that the gap decreased. Of course the padding value in Configuration still says "0". This is the case for both my desktop with Windows 10 Pro and my laptop with Windows 7 Home. So I wonder what else is affecting this, language, locale, fonts, font spacing, styles. I wonder if anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

Your last 2 posts. Scratch head. Cannot explain.

[klownboy]

Thanks Don. I'll keep digging, but at least now I can set it manually in XYplorer.ini and achieve the no gap look. If someone else pipes in that has the same problem with getting no gap between thumbnails, it might help narrow down the potential causes.

I'm in the same boat as klownboy... Padding = 0, Style = Plain still leaves a 4 pixel gap on all edges.

Could it be related to Windows 7 vs newer?
I seem to recall some padding/flat changes being restricted to the post-7 world.

Got it:

Configuration | Styles | Selections -> Classic

EDIT: Next version will get rid of this strange relation.

[klownboy]

Thanks Don, you're right it did fix it. I was in Config | Styles earlier testing different settings, but I hadn't changed the "Selections" setting only Borders and Grid. Why it affects it, I'm not sure. For some reason going from "Windows Theme" to "Classic" affects the thumbnail gap by so many pixels. As I said before, changing the "Padding" value in XYplorer.ini to "-2" worked, but only until I changed anything in Config (or hit OK) and of course it reverted back to "0"...if that helps.

[klownboy]

With beta 16.10.0306, I went back to Config | Styles | Selections | Windows Themes and the padding is looking good. Thanks.

[klownboy]

Though to get back to Sammay's original post, it might be nice to get rid of the excess yellow around the folder thumbnails still seen with "0" padding....
