TankThumbSize is the width of the thumbnail in pixels. 0 is no thumb. Anything less than about 32 gets rounded up to 32, and gives you a thumb the same height as the text. Anything higher than 32 starts to spread the table rows apart, with a maximum of 100.

I'm not sure if this will be allowed into v1 or not. If not, it will probably be something you can turn on by hand modifying your prefs, as the functionality is in and working. I'd like to make the thumbs here larger, but then when the popup draws unselected then the tank thumbnail bleeds outside of the control in a very sad way. The idea is to make explicit that the fish are being put into the tank shown. As it is now, some users don't notice that they are selecting fish for a specific tank.

Hi StinkyFish,

I really like the way you have this set up. However, I'd want to have the tank thumb give feedback as to lighting settings, at a minimum, since it is in the pane with the settings. I'm not quite ready to tackle that in the time I have left. Other fish to fry and all that.
