User interface color

Gimp loads with a white background and I would like to make it a dark grey background. How do I do this?

You need to change the "Custom padding color".

You need to change the "Custom padding color".

You might also want to look at some darker / lower color themes for the rest of the GIMP's parts. I think I found the one I am using here:

Aha, here's the theme I am using just now. A while back I went on a Holy Quest for GIMP themes, and this was what I settled on:

But according to something else I just saw, the need for such Quests is nearly at an end. Quote: [All of these themes are now a part of GIMP and included by default starting with version 2.9.2]

And I see more than one that looks "just right" to me.
