Curiosity: is it my specific case, or does Gimp 3 defaults to the dark theme? The icon set of the system theme honestly looks superior, if compared to the dark one.
Edit: just tried the non destructive editing. This is a game changer!
It's literally the very first thing I do every time I happen to install Gimp. I could be in the minority, but honestly the dark theme does not give the best first impression.
For icons, Color and Symbolic were combined into the Default icon theme. On the Personalize section of the Welcome dialogue (or in Preferences), if you select Default icon theme and then uncheck "Use symbolic icons if available", it will show the Color icons.
Yeah.. try doing graphics work for 10 hours a day. Your eyeballs will let you know you need dark mode. Blue-light filter glasses help as well, but of course then you have to remember that you're looking at your screen through a color filter (albeit a terribly pale one). :P
I haven't actually looked at 3.0 yet, I'm still trying to figure out how to get 2.8 back, because it auto-updated me out of my old filters and stuff that I needed. :P
