|    Over the Christmas holidays I've reimplemented the thumbnail viewer.
|    Read all about it on http://ktown.kde.org/kimdaba/news.htm

|    A new snapshot is available with it, and I urge everyone to start
|    using the snapshots. Due to an unfortunate amount of bugs
|    introduced either by KDE, Qt or esp Suse, I'm planning to freeze
|    soon and make a release.

|    background is always white (my normal background is black).
There is no color choice anymore (*evil grin*)
Color choice is IMHO an example of over configurability which just makes 
things harder to maintain. 
So if you want that back in, you gotta work real hard on it ;-)

| 2) The new thumbnail viewer doesn't display the image name (unless
|    it's actually being displayed in my normal text color, which of
|    course is white).
That is true too. I considered the text for a long time, and came to the 
conclusion that I wouldn't do it. 

Cheers
Jesper
