Questions about 2.0

I have a couple of questions about differences in 2.0

1. When selecting a layer in the layer dialog, the bar is blue. But the blue bar disappers in the layer dialog when you make the image active again. What in the layer dialog then indicates the active layer? Or do I just know because of the border in the image?

2.When adding guidelines, they cannot be moved by using the move tool and having it change to a hand. Any way to move them?

I have looked at the manual, and can't find these answers. Not complaining, I really appreciate all the work done on the Gimp by volunteers!!

Your GTK+ theme is severily broken. Of course the active item in the list view is supposed to be visible when the window is unfocused. Please choose a different theme for gtk+2 applications.

2.When adding guidelines, they cannot be moved by using the move tool and having it change to a hand. Any way to move them?

Check the move tool options. You probably don't have "Pick a Layer or Guide to Move" selected.

depending on how you have things configured, if you bring the image window to the top by clicking on the image face, the layer you clicked on might now be the active layer.

did you click on the center of the image window or on the title bar?

What are you using?

Here with Mdk10 download edition and the default window manager, the same thing happens to me.

I switched to icewm and all came good again?

I note Sven's answer and will investigate how to chose another theme, not particularly obvious on this installation.
