CDisplayEx

CDisplayEx is a Windows-based image viewer and reader designed for reading digital comics and manga. It originated as a continuation and enhancement of the original CDisplay project, aiming to preserve a simple, distraction-free reading experience while adding newer features and improved performance.

Features include support for common comic formats such as CBZ and CBR archives, as well as standard image formats like JPEG, PNG, GIF, and BMP. The viewer offers multiple page layouts, including single-page and double-page spreads, with options for fit-to-screen or actual-size zoom, auto-zoom, smooth panning, and fullscreen mode. Navigation is keyboard-driven, enabling quick page moves, zoom adjustments, and rotation.

For organization and reading management, CDisplayEx provides a thumbnail browser, bookmark support, and reading progress tracking. It is designed to handle large image files and archives efficiently, with attention to fast loading and stable performance.

The software emphasizes portability across typical Windows environments and is distributed as free software by its developers. It remains popular among readers who prefer a lightweight, focused interface for comic and manga libraries, combining straightforward controls with practical viewing options without unnecessary complexity.
