![]() You can obviously re-name the old file if you wish to keep it. But at the same time if it is the same folder, it’ll probably leave other files you’ve added alone – but just take care.Ģ) Next, if you wish to use my grey icon theme, download it, and copy and replace the icon set inĬ:\Program Files\Inkscape-0.91\share\inkscape\icons. Backup if necessarily as for Gimp (I don’t know whether the folder is the same as the official – it installs as “ Inkscape-0.91”). where the marquee shrinks to the selection – press “ SHIFT+CTRL+L”.ġ) Download and install Inkscape from Parthas’s site. To float the selected selection like in Photoshop i.e. “ Move Active Layer” from the Tool Options Tab when the Move tool is selected. If you hate selecting the wrong layer ever time you want to move something, check the option You can lock the dock tabs in place by right-clicking the arrow icon on the top right of the docks and selecting “Lock Tab to Docks”.Ĭheck out the extra Filters and scripts Script-Fu and FX-Foundry – a quick google search to locate. Rename the old Splash to “gimp-splash-old.png” and title your replacement “ gimp-splash.png”.Ĥ) Launch Gimp, if not already done from previous installs set Gimps layout to “ Single-Window Mode” ( Menu>Windows>Single-Window Mode).ĥ) And again if you haven’t previously, re-arange the layout of the docks to suit.ĭon’t forget you can re-arrange the tools order and also omit the ones you don’t require. Although there’s no harm in backing up if you think it’s necessary.Ģ) Next download and copy the cleerlooks flat icons toĬ:\Program Files\Gimp-2.8\share\gimp\2.0 hemes.ģ) If you wish to change the Splash screen on Gimp launch, download mine, or create your own and copy it here C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.8\share\gimp\2.0\images. ![]() It will create a separate folder titled “Gimp-2.8” and should leave the original Gimp 2 install folder alone if you have it. Of course I can’t guarantee the future of these links, mine will at least be around for another few years – hopefully then we’ll have a new Gimp and Inkscape with dark themes and better layouts.ġ) Download and install Parthas Gimp. ![]() Here’s a screenshot of Gimp with Parthas Gimp with the cleerlooks-flat icons Dark Blue from migf1: He has also done builds for Inkscape too, which if you’re interested, will help sort that too while we’re at it.Īnother artist/dev ‘ migf1’ has created a set of icons to replace the default ones, better than my originals I think. Luckily I’ve now found a fix, and it’s even better than the original theme!Ī developer named ‘ Partha Bagchi’ has created a build of Gimp that has the required GTK dlls that allows Gimp to be themed correctly. I’ve since found out that it’s something to do with the GTK engine in the Windows version missing some dlls. ![]() I checked the other day and to my surprise since 2013 there has been over 20,000 downloads for it! This suggests to me that maybe it’s been popular – go figure? Gimp devs please finally take noteĪt the time a lot of people were hoping to theme their Window versions with the same method, but although it was possible, some parts of the theme didn’t work well. I need something as compact as the win32 theme with dark mode and symbolic icons from the new themes.It’s been a while since I last created a post on BA how to theme Gimp to look like Photoshop CS6 for Ubuntu/Linux – essentially a dark theme with customised icons and layout. Moreover, the docked tabs of Fill and Stroke, Align and Distribute are too wide even in their narrowest size and take almost half of my screen when I open the Transform tab there. I sit close enough to the computer that I can easily read and understand icons and text of small sizes, so everything in my laptop is set to small so that I can fit a lot in my screen space.Īs much as I love the new themes and the dark mode of those, I don't like the large icons on the right side of the screen, they take too much space and don't fit all the necessary icons. I use Inkscape in a laptop with screen resolution of 1366x768. No other settings were altered from previous screenshot. The canvas becomes almost half of the screen if Transform tab is open on the right. This is the perfect look with symbolic icons and the dark theme. This is the perfect compactness and arrangement, except for the colour palette that becomes of different size in different themes. Both screenshots have A4 page at 1:1 zoom. The colour palette is messed up because I can't get them to be square tiles smaller than the default settings. How do I do that? If I can't for now, I would like to give a feedback to the Inkscape team to help me fit the software in my screen.īelow are the screenshots of the win32 and High Contrast Inverse (dark mode) themes. TL DR: I want to have the condensed icons, buttons and tabs of the win32 theme but the dark and sleek look of the new themes.
