Hello list,

Can anybody send me a screenshot of the 2.10.0 CR2 theme “Light” and some samples of the icon themes? The screenshots in the recent news clippings weren’t big enough to make a decision on upgrading when the time comes.

I have a small recently-acquired vision problem so I have been using GIMP 2.8.16 with the Color-32 theme very successfully. Trendy though it may be, grey type on a grey background doesn’t work well for me.

I can appreciate that turning the foreground GUI colors to black and the background colors to white (or vice-versa, as required) is probably a big job but I think a fair number of GIMP users with some level of vision difficulty would appreciate it.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA, Rick S.

Hey thanks Jehan, much appreciated! Rick S.

There are several themes settable in Preferences, and one of them is called "System", which is basically the default light theme of the toolkit, same as it was in 2.8.

As for icon themes, there is a "Color" icon theme, as well as the old icon theme from 2.8 (called "Legacy").

So whatever the vision difficulty is, if GIMP 2.8 was ok for you, you can always revert to the same themes as 2.8. Then it should be ok. :-)

Have fun!

Jehan

If you are running on Windows Partha (https://www.partha.com/) has a portable
build that doesn't interfere with the 2.8 version that you have installed at the
moment. It doesn't have to be installed and if you don't like it you can simply
delete the folder that contains it. That way you could see first hand what the
themes look like. Its also possible to increase the size of the icons using "Edit/Preferences/Icon Theme"
