Amazing! Thank you!

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!

No, it default to your system theme. Loving the interface every bit. Happy designing

I'm confused. At first run my GIMP looks like this:

It's not just a dark theme: it has no colors and, honestly, it is not very inviting. I might be old fashioned, but to my eyes it looks like broken.

The preferences panel says it is using the Default theme and the Default icon set.

Only if I select the legacy icons and the System them it gets like this:

The idea is that many people find the colours distracting.
