increasing size of icons, tool panels, etc.
#4
thanks for your help ... i will try downloading and applying this theme as suggested.

For the larger font size i don't know where to find the gtkrc file? There are eight 'sub' folders in the gimp 2 folder in the program files folder.

Finally, i am running win 10. 'Other' OS was a mistake. Yes 12 inch screen is small. This notebook/tablet combo is meant to travel with. Best, David.  

The theme is changed in Gimp Edit -> Preferences -> Themes. After selecting the new theme restart Gimp.

For larger text, Upped the font size from 11 to 16 line 7 in the file gtkrc

Code:
 font_name = "sans, 16"

hope this helps.





So, i downloaded the color-48.7z and color-32.7z files but i don't know what to do with them now? They don't extract like zip files do? When i double clicked on one of them, i was asked to associate with a program, so now they are associated with notepad???

what to do?

UPDATE - okay, so i installed winzip, then unzipped the to files so i know have two folders: color-48 and color-32. What is next?

LATEST . got themes to load. but now where is file located where i can adjust font size?
