Would like to ask if someone knows of any extension for Visual Studio version2019/2022 capable of displaying an inline image preview upon hovering a picture file.
Similar to this extension for vscode:
While searching I have found some, but these you usually need to click on some kind of button or window to create the image, instead of displaying it under the mouse.

I am building a visual studio application and have designed it using visual studio windows form. I am using the siticone library for the GUI but when i lay widgets out on the designer and then run the application all the widgets move. The buttons do not but the labs on them do. Also i have added a user control page that moves aswell. Please Help.
Cheers.enter image description here
Make sure that your Winform Font style and size match with all child controls including all Siticone controls.
Verify that you have anchored your controls accordingly on your form or panel control.
I am using Visual Studio 2019 to build an Excel Addin with a Custom Task Pane.
In the User Control used as Custom Task Pane, i added imlNavigation(ImageList)
I tried to generate transparent Images PNG with size [512,512] and attached it with the Buttons, but the Quality is very poor
I tried to generate transparent Images PNG [16,16] but no changes.
Below is the screenshot. And even the transparency is not good. We still see those white colors around the pictures:
Can anyone please suggest me what exactly I shall do as I am still new in Visual Studio?
Where could I get transparent Icons/Images to use for my Buttons?
What Extension shall I use if necessary to get them easily attached with my Buttons?
Where do I fail and I should still learn regarding the buttons?
I am willing to learn and to follow you instructions and suggestions. Thank you in advance!
May be instead of using image list you can use Image Resources?
Click on the Button
On your property click on the assist button of image
From the Select Resource Dialog box, click on Project Resource File
Import you pictures (Png transparent) better 25-25px or 20-20px based on the size of your button. It accepts transparent images as well
This should improve the quality of your button images.

When I'm making edits in storyboard I know how to show the preview in the assistant editor (as shown in the below screen shot).
How to show the preview in a separate window, so that I'll be able to drag it to my the screen attached to my computer?
UPDATE: Adding few more images to clarify what is the "Storyboard Preview":
In XCode 7 I managed to do this by selecting File -> New window, then adding a preview-part teh same way you illustrate above. I then drag it to my secondary screen resize everything to give a good preview of the screen sizes I want.
When laying out a WinForm in Visual Studio you get the ability to resize and align your controls very easily with drag handles and border alignment hints.
I'd like to do the same with a runtime control to enable the user to position an image on a page.
For example, if the user has a photo and they want to place it as a background on the desktop I'd like the control to help them move and size the photo thumbnail in a mini desktop visual.
I can do all of this, but my real question is, does anyone know of a way to inherit from the standard WinForms layout editor so that I can choose to use the nice docking, alignment hints and control resizing without coding it all again?
Thanks in advance

I don't know about easy, but you can host the actual winforms designer in your own applications without too many problems.. See here.
I'm making a 3D editor and I want Windows Explorer to show previews of the 3D models in the files when it's in thumbnail view mode.
How do I do that?
You have to implement a preview handler.
You have to write a shell extension that implements IExtractImage2 and extracts the thumbnail for Explorer. Oh, and it's COM, so better expect to feel dirty afterwards.
