Afaik you'll have to really get into GTK2 theming because GIMP 2.8 is mostly based on GTK2 to my knowledge - only some widgets are used from gtk3. However themeing in gtk2 and gtk3 is taking place differently. In GTK3 it's mostly CSS based while in gtk2 it's not. I however cannot give you more information about the theming itself, the only thing I tried was to theme the whole desktop environment (Ubuntu) and it also affected GIMP of course. But it was too time-intense so I skipped that ;) -- devvv (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
