Thinking it might have some features the earlier version doesn't have, yesterday I got the bright idea to upgrade my version of GIMP from 2.8-something to 2.10.38 (the latest I can get that's compatible with my Windows 7 ThinkPad).
I've spent the last few hours trying to make it look and perform the way 2.8 did. (Insert usual excuse about my being a creature of habit.) I've figured out/stumbled onto most of what I need, but one thing eludes me, or maybe two:
Unlike with 2.8, the Tool Options, Toolbox, Navigation pane, and Layers box each seem to be stuck in one place, at one size. They're way taller than they need to be, and take up way too much space. I really didn't mind moving them out of the way when I needed to work on a more zoomed-in view of my image, but I don't seem to have that option here.
Is there a way to resize them and move them around?
Also, when using the Rotation tool, its dialogue box was sitting right on top of the image I was rotating, so I couldn't really see what I was doing. It wouldn't move, either.
Please, I hope there is a way to do this. If not, I may need to revert and forego any improvements 2.10 has to offer.
Thanks!
