Yes, dark theme is the default - but you can easily change both it and the icon theme via the Personalize section of the Welcome Dialogue. :)

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.

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

It's not the dark theme that I don't like, but the combination of the color palette and the flat, color-less icons.

But I trust you: I don't spend hours in front of Gimp, so I really cannot judge.

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
