QuickLook
Is there a problem for Xp that is similar to quicklook? I want something that is able to view pictures other then Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
You see the problem 
is that a program similar to Quicklook is always a problem in Windows.
Try search. You'll find:
Deskphoto,
XnView,
IrfanView,.
FastStone
I made for myself Quicklook using XnView skinned with Windowblinds.
So, I mixed Windownlinds Leopard glass skin with Cold skin, which I modded a bit and here what I got in the end.
View mode:
Browser mode:
There are only 2 problems.
1) XnView needs to center buttons on the center. So if you want to have 2 buttons in the center you need to add blank black icons but it is not a good thing.
2) XnView conflicts with Objectbar. It grabs its menu (which is good) but every time you scroll pictures to the next one the menu on the Objectbar slides to the left till it disappears.

If you know how to solve the problem with Objectbar there will be only one problem left - to make XnView center icons on the toolbar in the View mode. I talked to XnView author about these 2 problems. But he doesn't know what might be the problem with objectbar and he doesn't know yet how to center toolbar icons other simple way than the way I told you (put blank icons)
nice one, alabanco
I don't like how you have open the program to use it. i want to like click on the picture and something will bring it up.
i think you can try QTTabBar one of the function is a quick look of an image or document qttabbar.wikidot.com

XnView on my computer bring any picture at once when I click it. the broswer view will be only if you switch to it in the program. I've tried lots of programs, that I listed to you and this has come to be the best for me.
How do you make XnView default for viewing images? Like when I double click on an image it shows up like this picture of yours.
You should have a look at avepreview.
To make it open when you select an image you need to first right click the image and select properties, then change, next find the software you want to use to open the image.
Every time you open the the image it "should" use the software you selected.

Hey alabanco, can you tell me how to customize my xnview to look like Quicklook please!!!!
I have already said. You have quoted the very words.
Once again, I moded Leopard Glass windowblinds skin and apply that skin for Xnview program as I use for my system another Leopard skin - by Blitzr.
in order to have the toolbar at the bottom (which I don't actually need ) you need to contact XnView Developer. I mentioned 2 little problems that I personally can't fix.
Anyway I think XnView is the best platform to make Quicklook for Windows.
Once again how it looks
Just uses TomTom's Deskphoto skin (www.imwalkingwithaghost.deviantart.com) with Deskphoto...

that was in my first reply
The problem with deskphoto is that its not actually quicklook idea since it slides the contents of folder and we are talking about click and boom!
Yeah, deskphoto is alright. I can't just click and view but instead I have to drag the picture. 
hey can you be more specific on how to skint it cause i have no idea where to look
What do you mean? Are you talking about skinning Deskphoto?
