Gimp 2.8 Control Panels

* Mike Armistead [08-22-13 11:24]:

I have downloaded several iterations of Gimp 2.8, now up to 2.8.6, and all I get is a blank screen with the menu bar at the top (and the Gimp logo in the background). I don't see any of the toolbars or control panels that all tutorials show as being part of Gimp 2.8. The only toolbar I can pull up is the tall narrow one under tools that just has the basic functions of older versions of Gimp. Am I doing something wrong or is there some kind of block on my computer? I'm using Windows 7 64-bit OS. I also have Adaptable Gimp 2.6.10 on my computer - could that be interfering with anything?

Anything is possible, expecially in windows environment. What exactly is "Adaptable Gimp" as that name is foriegn, gimp is gimp.

First thing I would try is *completely* removing "Adaptable Gimp", including its personal configuration files. Remove *all* of gimp also.

Then reinstall gimp and see what you get.

gud luk,

gud luk,

Before that, try hitting "Tab" (hides/shows all active docks) or adding in the control panels from "windows->dockable dialogs (or similar, don't have a gimp around here)"
