Some thoughts:

- I can change the multiply symbol in the Image Tabs and Get Info. Just tell me exactly which Unicode char you want as a replacement. The current version is generated in ResourceObjects/ImageResource.cpp and as far as I can tell it is using the × character which is defined to be: U+00D7.

- I just can *not* see any logical reason to move the image details to be above the image, especially if the full image is zoomed to fit. So I really need to hear a good argument that lays out what benefit is derived from such a move. (And matching calibre in this regard is not a good enough reason).

- If most people want zoomed to fit images, we can easily do that with simple svg in the Image Tabs and elsewhere. But certainly seeing tiny images will not show you how truly large some images are which are ones an epub developer should be focusing on. That is why I like the current approach.

- as for highlighting the current tab on Windows, I still see that as a windows only issue with Sigil's classic dark mode, that could be handled by changing the stylesheets used by Windows in classic dark mode inside Sigil. So I will do whatever you and DiapDealer agree should be done.
