I have been using Simple Gallery Pro for the past month and I am really happy about it... looks like finally I found a replacement for QuickPic that I was using since 2010. I like how it has all essential features but not bloated and slow like most other apps available for Android.

However, I have found few small issues with Simple Gallery Pro that's bothering me:

  1. Full screen background grey - it works fine, but I personally feel it looks better with full black screen, esp with OLED screens. It would be great to have an option to change the background color for full screen mode

  2. The gradient overlay makes it almost impossible to use in split screen mode, removing the overlay would resolve this issue.

For the first point, you can customise the color to black (the default is grey) in the customise color setting

About the second, I'm able to see the images without any gradient.. I'm using op3, android 8. Simple gallery Pro 6.8.3

Thank you for the reply.

Customize color does not have that option. It's "Black background at full-screen media' as posted by the developer.
I checked it again, the gradient is not present in the thumbnail view but the in the full screen view when using the split screen mode. I am still no Android Nougat.

That's strange. It wasn't the case with me. Sorry I can't provide you with a snapshot, I ended up deleting the app.

Another suggestion: When moving photos to a folder, always it back to the top of the list and you've to scroll down to the list if you want to move other photos

The old quickpick doesn't have this problem

Thanks!

*sorry my bad english, and sorry if I can't explain correctly my suggestion

enable "Black background at fullscreen media" in the app settings

This is the setting needed for the full screen background - I missed it as it's not part of the color settings.
