Look of Toolbox> - FransHarderwijk - 04-26-2025

Hi here,

I use Gimp 3.0 in Windows on a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 laptop since two days.
I previously used older Gimp-versions as a novice.

Tiny problem (perhaps a simple question):
I don't like the way my Tool Options dialog looks. See the attachment.
I don't like the 'hand' shaped cursor (too big and dark) and the black popup.

I cannot find what to change in Edit>Prefecences>...
My Interface>Theme is System.
My Interface>Icon Theme is Legacy.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Regards, Frans van Zelm

I think I saw an issue request to the developers recently but I can't find it again.

The tooltips toggle that was there in Gimp 2.10 has gone in Gimp 3.0. You can not reinstate it but you can make the tooltips pop-up invisible using this code in a gimp.css file for your User profile.

Code:

tooltip {

   opacity: 0;

}

I will attach that little file (unzip it) and in a Windows Gimp it goes here:

Not much can be easily done with those tool-options sliders. You could try an Artbox theme from here: https://script-fu.github.io/artbox/hub/themes/folder/ The Artbox system theme look like this:

Hi Rich 2005,

Thanks for your attention and quick help.
I will give it a try soon.
As clumsy user, I ... tremble a bit to do so.
Haha.

You can not damage anything. If do not like anything just delete the gimp.css and/or the theme file.

Thanks again, also for reassuring.
I didn't use the .css as yet.
What I did:
1. Install the Artbox themes. They worked. Thanks!
2. Changed the cursor in Windows>Settings>...>Mouse to small and transparent. That helped but works 'all over my place'.
3. Switched off Edit>Preferences>Interface>Help system>General>Show help buttons. That way, I got rid of the dark rectangles in the Toolbox dialog.
I keep on struggling ... and enjoying GIMP.
