Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Before posting I have had searching on Internet without result.  Actually what I need are basic information of GIMP

1) Tool list on the screen and their basic function rather than moving mouse cursor over them to read
2) How to increase the size of the tool icons ?
3) What are the tiny icons on the right menu under 2.Hardness 050 (51x51) ?

What I found on Internet were the application of GIMP including Youtube video.  I found many of them.

Regards
SL

Thanks for your help.

After reading your link briefly It seems not so easy to increase the size of the tool icons just with a few clicks.  It has to extract the files provided on the links on #1.

On;
Edit -> Preferences -> Theme
Theme Folder
Default /usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes/Default
Small /usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes/Small

On Terminal
⟫ ls -al /usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes/Default/

Code:

⟫ ls /usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes/Small/

Code:

On;
Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Themes
Folder
/home/satimis/.gimp-2.8/themes
/usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes

On Terminal
⟫ ls /home/satimis/.gimp-2.8/themes/
It is an empty folder

⟫ ls -al /usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes/

Code:

drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Aug 25  2016 .

drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Sep  1  2016 Default
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Sep  1  2016 Small

It is quite strange to me?  I'm running GIMP 2.8 here
