Gimp Themes?

I installed GIMP.

It is good.

But It have not themes.

So he looks very poor.

Who knows the links for GIMP themes?

Thanks.

Undertaker,

I do not know about the windows port, but in linux gimp takes the sking from the GTK theme, in order to run gimp you need the GTK libraries so you are all set to go. for some GTK themes you can visit http://art.gnome.org there are GTK and GTK2 themes. I do not know how to apply this themes to windows.. sorry.

btw, I'll be realeasing soon a Jaguar Brushed Blue theme for GTK2 (based on Iceman's theme for windows)

How to use gtk themes on The GIMP for windows

*note* this is unofficial and is *not* supported by the author of the gimp for Win32. He doesn't even like themes but I'm providing this as a service to those people who *do* like themes like me. There are chances it may leak memory, it might crash your gimp or your system. I really only recommend this for those people who are using Win2k or WinXP as "Win95\98\98se\ME" all have a nasty GDI limit which this hits. I'm using it trouble free on WindowsXP here but your results may vary.. don't say I didn't warn you.

First off you need to have the gimp installed (well duh).

Then you need the files that gimp is missing in order to have themes:

IMLIB

theme engines

You need to unzip the imlib to your "\program files\common files\gnu\" folder and the theme engines to your "gtk+\themes\engines\" folder. It *has* to be there or it won't load the theme correctly. By defualt the GTK+ folder is in the windows folder.

Then you need to go to gtk.classic.themes.org and pick a theme for your gimp.

You need to add this line to the gtkrc file in your gtk+ folder:

module_path "path to gtk\gtk+\themes\engines"

include "path to gtk\gtk+\themes\themename\gtk\gtkrc"

brass_path "path to gtk\gtk+\themes\themename\gtk"

You have to use double back slashes.... you *have* to put it that way.

They don't show up there cause of the parsing system in my site.

Note: This doesn't work for x-chat as it uses a different version of gtk and glib.

Note: by default all gtk themes use a font which isn't generally available on windows so it makes the skin unreadable on windows.. to fix this you must go into the "themedir"\gtk\ folder and open up gtkrc in a text edtitor, search for any font lines and replace what is in quotes with this,

"-unknown-tahoma-normal-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1"

then you can have readable fonts on gtk themes in windows.

P.S. To change the theme in the current gimp you need to go into your gimp\etc\folder I believe and change the gtkrc in there.

If that doesn't work here is a older unsupported build of The GIMP:

GIMP

Patch unzip to your gimp\bin folder...

Rand Functs Patch unzip to your gimo\plug-ins folder...

Gif Plugin Don't forget to remove the tiff-nolzw plugin first. unzip to your gimo\plug-ins\folder...
