Need to change the color scheme - fixit7 - 09-05-2022 I can barely read the black text with a gray background that my Gimp is using. How can I change that? Thanks. I can not figure how to attach an image?  https://imgur.com/a/10B6WkT RE: Need to change the color scheme - Tas_mania - 09-05-2022 Edit > Preferences > Interface > Themes Try some out and see if they are better for you RE: Need to change the color scheme - PixLab - 09-06-2022 Thanks for the screenshot in action this did allow me to find out what's going on. It's because you are trying to write a text outside of the image / canvas, You can increase the canvas size by going to the menu Image ➤ Canvas size or write inside the canvas/image, then move your text and eventually go to Image ➤ Fit Canvas to Layers to see your text. 10 seconds video https://imgur.com/a/FQWW8LN [attachment=8622] RE: Need to change the color scheme - rich2005 - 09-06-2022 As PixLab indicated, the text layer is outside the canvas.  You can see what is there using the toggle View -> Show All The background changes to a checker pattern. Then decide to move the text or increase the canvas size. [attachment=8626]
