mp3 files with unrecognizable overlay
ThumbCreators with the ThumbCreator::BlendIcon will bake a mimetype overlay
icon into the top bottom corner of the thumbnail.
This is bad for several reasons:
- Opacity of the overlay is specified by the caller, i.e. appearance may change
dependent on which application triggers the thumbnail creation.
- The overlay is theme dependent
- For text/plain and mp3, the overlay (Breeze theme) is completely
unrecognizable (light gray icon with ~25% opacity), and adds just some
noise/blur.
- Bottom left is the first position for "native" overlays, i.e. the mime type
overlay will be hidden by e.g. the "symlink" overlay
Only the text and audiofile thumbnailers are affected.
