I made my own GIMP themes and am happy with how it looks now. Dark and middle grey if anyone is interested. I have clients looking over my shoulder every week and no one has even asked what I'm using.

Been using both Photoshop and GIMP for professional reproduction work for years and both have their pros and cons in terms of their behaviour and layout.

Having taken some time to learn GIMP (which I also had to do once upon a time with Photoshop btw), I personally don't see it as a big priority for them to work on the UI/UX.

Yes a few things could benefit from a tweak, but I don't think it needs an overhaul.

    You can create a color management profile that doesn’t do anything

    That would actually be great! I need a completely un-managed baseline to build off. How is it done?

    you will most likely be happier doing whatever you’re doing on a mac.

    I have too much sunk cost fallacy with this now and cannot turn back. If you have any practical tips for survival please share them!

    Does anyone here know how to disable or suspend all display colour management? I'm trying make some display profiles with a measurement instrument and no matter what I do, Wayland or Xorg, there is a persistent icc profile in effect which gets regenerated from the EDID.

    I can't work out how to characterise the display without this profile being in effect, and unfortunately Displaycal and Argyll seem unable to disable it automatically.

    I've pretty much completed my new clean dark theme for the GIMP 3 series, but I'd like some feedback on one thing before I release it.

    Should I use a light or dark tone for the separators? If you compare the two images you'll see what I'm referring to.

    I think the lighter separators are easier to see and the darker ones are less distracting.

    Which do you think is better?

    I know I have a bias towards making things low-contrast and 'smooth', sometimes overly so, and I'd appreciate some outside perspective.
