Thnx Setekh, it''s the least I can do...

I did find some extra info for this thumbnail viewer...

if this is not already in the registry...

setting the following value to zero will disable alpha transparancy in thumbnail rendering, setting it to 1 will enable it again

Code: [Select]


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Tools]
"DDSViewPreMultiplyAlpha"=dword:00000000



if you copy/paste this to a registry file, do not forget to add two blank lines (press enter twice) at the end or the last line is not merged into the registry...

Heh, cheers. :) Actually, you know what? It might be a good idea to add this to the Wiki, underneath or near the entries for DDS support in the SCP. :nod:
