NeonView is a minimalist image viewer for Linux, created by TuxArena and written in C and GTK+ 3.

Below is a screenshot of NeonView in GNOME 3:

This first release, codenamed ‘Betta splendens’, includes just a handful of features for now, however it is the base on which development of more advanced features will take place. Still, the goal of NeonView is to remain clean and lightweight, while also trying to implement only the needed functions that a simple image viewer should have.

Some of the features of NeonView:

• supports many image formats, including JPG, PNG, SVG, GIF or TGA (any format supported by gdk_pixbuf)
• allows navigation with next/prev buttons with images sorted by name
• fit to window or normal size image view modes
• it remembers the window size between sessions and can be started maximized (in order to remember these use Ctrl+Q to quit it for now, or just edit the ~/.neonview/neonview.cfg file)
• allows manual configuration via ~/.neonview/neonview.cfg

The full announcement is located on the NeonView homepage, here.
