- This page lets you select a theme, which determines many aspects of
- the appearance of the GIMP user interface, including the set of
- icons used, their sizes, fonts, spacing allowed in dialogs, etc.
- Two themes are supplied with GIMP: <span class="guilabel">Default</span>,
- which is probably best for most people, and
- <span class="guilabel">Small</span>, which may be preferable for those with
- small or low-resolution monitors. Clicking on a theme in the list
- causes it to be applied immediately, so it is easy to see the result
- and change your mind if you don't like it.
- </p>
- <p>
- You can also use custom themes, either by downloading them from the
- net, or by copying one of the supplied themes and modifying it.
- Custom themes should be places in the <tt class="filename">themes</tt>
- subdirectory of your personal GIMP directory: if they are, they
- will appear in the list here. Each theme is actually a directory
- containing ASCII files that you can edit. They are pretty
- complicated, and the meaning of the contents goes beyond the scope
- of this documentation, but you should feel free to experiment: in
- the worst case, if you mess things up completely, you can always
- revert back to one of the supplied themes.
- </p>
- <p>
- You cannot edit the supplied themes unless you have administrator
- permissions, and even if you do, you shouldn't: if you want to
- customize a theme, make a copy in your personal directory and work
- on it. If you make a change and would like to see the result "on
- the fly", you can do so by saving the edited theme file and then
- pressing <span class="guilabel">Reload Current Theme</span>.
