gimprc just holds your settings, deleting or re-naming just forces Gimp to create a new default file. It is text, open it up and have a look at the contents.
If you set the toolbox icons to the smallest size but that does not 'stick' then while still in Edit > Preferences go in each of the three sections Tool Options / Window Management / Input Devices click on the "Save xxxx Now" OK Preferences, restart Gimp see if the settings stick.
A 32" tv has a resolution, you might have heard of 720p (1280 x 720) or 1020p (1920 x 1080) one thing it will not be is 1360x786 which is a typical resolution for an older laptop. you might want to check on the display resolution settings in MXlinux.

There is a setting in GimpEdit > Preferences > Interface > Display Monitor Resolution which is Detect Automatically and is measured in pixels-per-inch. You can enter it manually and/or you can use a 'calibration' screen Gimp docs are sadly lacking in detail. It is here: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-pimping.ht...efs-dialog Scroll down to Figure 12.16. The Calibration dialog
Your tv is probably 1080p 33" is a diagonal size so the width is probably about 28" which would make a screen resolution of about 68 ppi
Probably will not make any difference but worth checking.

Quote:...I still find icons too large but did i mention i am using Gimp on a large 32" tv screen, resolution= 1360x768. Tool thumbs are gitantic & take too much space. Tried a reset, makes icons small for a second until i press a button which makes it revert sizes, i'm confused.
