Remarks
Depending on the WinExplorerViewOptionsView.ImageLayoutMode property value, actual images can be smaller than the region set by the WinExplorerViewStyleOptions.ImageSize property. In this case, when an item has no caption, the selection drawn around the entire item may include empty spaces that do not look good in certain scenarios. For such cases, the SelectionDrawMode property is set to AroundImage by default. You can also set it to AroundItem to force the full selection to be drawn (see the figure below).
Tip
The best visual results, illustrated in the figure above, are achieved when the WinExplorerViewOptionsView.ImageLayoutMode property is left at its default value (ZoomInside). In other image layout modes, the AroundImage selection may still include empty regions on both the right and left sides of the image.
