Does GIMP work well on windows 11 with a 4K monitor - Bob_H - 02-04-2025
I was wondering if there were any issues using GIMP on Windows 11 with a 4K monitor? I'm planning on updating soon. Thanks for your feedback

For a 4K monitor, the usual complaint is about the small toolbox icons, even set to max size. Sometimes about menu text size but that can be fixed with a simple config file.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what you mean by a simple config file. Could you expand on that more? Thanks

Do a search for gtkrc It goes in your Gimp profile. There are examples around.
To save writing your own, there is a plugin that does it for you. see: http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=19154&start=10#p261235
Edit: I did post an example here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Issues-with-Small-Icons-and-Font-Selection-Window-in-GIMP-Interface?pid=39998#pid39998
