XP-style icons?
Hi there, just downloaded xplorer2 lite and I'm loving it, but I was wondering if it's possible to have the unique icons for each file in the centre like normal, instead of the bottom-right? Tried searching for anything related to this, but wasn't able to turn anything up, so sorry if it's a question that's been asked before.
Certainly. xplorer2 in thumbnail view vs. explorer in thumbnail view.
So what I'd like is to have each program's icon as its thumbnail. It's not a huge problem if it's not possible, I was just curious about whether I'd missed an option somewhere.
Edit: Actually the explorer screenshot is in tile view, but you get the idea.

Seems sensible.
I guess I'm a bit late here, but...
Errant's quest seems sensible to me. The application icons do relay one "level more" of information than the generic "this-is-not-thumbable" icon. Though admittedly, as Nikos has indicated, these not-thumbable icons are mearly an indication that you're in the wrong view....

I'd upgrade to pro for the better thumbnail view alone, but the fact is, in Vista, thumbnail view is ugly. Especially with darker themes. It doesn't fully support video thumbnails, or even drive icons. And has a permanent white background. Blech.
An option to hide the menu and breadcrumb bar would also be nice.

first you need to upgrade to the new pro version since thumbnails have changed a little. Then, I can't see how the background is black. I guess you have changed the active view color to black so the thumbnail background should be black too!?
there is an inconsistency with the inactive pane, so if you have that black and the main (active) pane white, then thumbnails won't look that good when you tab to the inactive pane
