Change Left/Right Panel Color

Hello All:

I'm new to GIMP and trying to setup the interface the way I'd prefer; don't like the rather bright white color of the image window, toolbox and dialog panels when the program first opens up. I tried searching the archives to find an answer to my question without any success. Therefore...

After looking through various preference options, I finally found how to change the padding color for the image window, however, I cannot see if it's possible to change the toolbox panel (left side) and dialog panels (right side) to something other than white. Since my image window (padding) is now set to a very dark gray, I'd like to set the toolbox/dialog panels to something like a medium gray. Is this possible? How?

Thank you for any help provided.

Regards, AlanH

Yes this is possible. You need to find a theme, other than the current default themes, with dark colors. You can search on the web for dark themes for GIMP. Unfortunately you may have more or less luck in such a search, as sometimes user-made themes may be broken or incomplete. So you may have to try and test a few before finding the right one. Some users on the list may be able to direct you to their favorite dark theme.

P.S.: in some future major version, GIMP would be released with additional default themes, in particular with dark theme options. Unfortunately current release has no such default dark theme yet.

Thank you for any help provided.

If you use GIMP under OS X, I am quite satisfied with "GIMP 2.8 T-ish Brushed Metal Aqua Theme", version 06/15/2012, downloaded from http://thegimp.ca/category/gimp-themes/ . You will find there other themes; if you don't like them, look under gmome.org .
