Hi,
I was thinking of, as i mentioned earlier sometime that a feature like
seemless image viewing mode will be very cool thing to add.
The inspiration is of course the google picasa viewer for windows, with a
dimmed background of the running windows and upfront will be the image.
But, a lot more things can be added to this. things like folder navigation
with image thumbnails and maybe a video preview option too.
I am not sure if clutter/libchamplain will be suitable to do these jobs.
Please let me know if you guys want to see such a feature as a view option.
and may be any suggestions on the libraries also.
