showimg is an image viewer for viewing images

showimg is a funny little image viewer / overlay

it displays images without any window decorations and makes them stay on top of other windows.

controls

• escape: close window
• left mouse button: move window, or resize it at its border
• right click: open the OS context menu for the window
• middle click (hold): select a region to zoom into
• backspace: reset zoom region
• T: toggle window background for transparent images (transparent, light checkerboard, dark checkerboard)
• L: force linear interpolation even when each image pixel is larger than a screen pixel (by default, this transitions to pixel art friendly nearest-neighbor)

dependencies

on Linux, we (apparently!) need zenity. your distro should have it packaged.

bugs & todos

• test aspect-aware window resize logic on native X11 (doesn't work on XWayland) and Windows
• mipmaps and SPD
• HDR support? (I have no use for this, I neither have HDR images nor monitors)
• some Animated PNGs flicker because the image crate doesn't decode them right
• Ctrl + Drag should create a Drag&Drop source containing the image path (needs winit support first)
