User interface color

[ldubia]

I have seen several YouTube videos featuring GIUMP with a dark grey interface.  I am wondering how to change from white to the dark grey. 

Thanks

You need to install a new Dark theme. 

The easiest way is use the version of Gimp (even GIUMP) from http://www.partha.com where the dark theme is default.

Otherwise, search for gimp +dark themes. Beware of anything more than a couple of years old, that might not work due to Gimp version changes. Your operating system has an effect as well, what works in linux, might not work in Windows or OSX.

Attached a dark theme as an example. Unzip and put in your Gimp profile themes folder In Windows that is

C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8\themes

Open Gimp go to Edit -> Preferences -> Themes  Select a theme, then you probably need to restart Gimp.

You just find a suitable "theme".

I can't recommend any since I'm happy with the default one. An example.
