[maemo-developers] How to add a rounded border or even framework around itemsoficonview

[From: Zhu, Peter J]

Hi Lucas,

Thanks for pointing this. After a brief look at code, it seems that eog uses cell-renderer to deal with state of PRELIGHT/SELECT/ACTIVE of items while uses eog_thumbnail_add_frame to draw a thin frame around each item in its NORMAL state. I'm curious why not just use cell-renderer to draw a thin frame around item? Is it possible?
