I've finished describing the best interface ever for an image viewer.
If you're viewing IMAGES (expert BBcode etc), you don't want to view colourful buttons, animated mouse cursors, and all that shit. It gets in the way and subtracts visual space. A good viewer needs no interface but the keyboard (and possibly mouse) to scroll, zoom, rotate, and advance images, and maybe adjust gamma.

IrfanView is misnamed, as it's a basic image editor too
In case a /prog/rammer is reading this, the win32api functions for images are OleLoadPicturePath and IPicture->Render.
In 1 page of code you have a viewer.
Or libjpeg + giflib if you've got to have portability.
Or libsdl + gtk + wxwidgets if you've got to have abstract portability.
Flame on for "reinventing the wheel", also known as suggesting people write programs in a programmer bulletin board.
