Gimp Theme to be more photoshop like

To help a fellow deviant, I've put together a download that anyone with Gimp 2.10 on Linux can use to make their copy of Gimp look more like Adobe Photoshop and make people more comfortable.

I've taken various bits of guides online and various tweaks. All you have to do is download the file, unzip it. Then in the file manager go to your home folder, show hidden files, delete or move your old .gimp-2.10 configuration folder out of the way, and replace with the new one. Then load Gimp.

Please let me know if it works for you or if it fails.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Disclaimer: GimpPs supports Windows, but works best on OS X and Linux.

• Gimp 2.10
• git should be installed

Basic Installation

GimpPs is installed by running one of the following commands in your terminal. You can install this via the command-line with either curl or wget.

via curl

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doctormo/GimpPs/master/tools/install.sh)"

via wget

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doctormo/GimpPs/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"

Mac installation

# exit gimp first
cd $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP
mv 2.10 2.10.backup
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/doctormo/GimpPs.git 2.10

Windows installation

via powershell:

# exit gimp first
cd $Env:UserProfile
mv .gimp-2.10 .gimp-2.10.backup
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/doctormo/GimpPs.git .gimp-2.10

via cmd:

# exit gimp first
cd %USERPROFILE%
ren .gimp-2.10 .gimp-2.10.backup
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/doctormo/GimpPs.git .gimp-2.10

People generally get biased in the discussion of GIMP Vs Photoshop but they don't know how powerful GIMP really is. You can do all the effects of you use GIMP Wisely.

gimpps's Issues

`gimp_ps_directory` should honor GIMP2_DIRECTORY envvar

Instead of the hard-coding "$HOME/.gimp-$version", the install script should make use of the GIMP2_DIRECTORY environment variable to give users the opportunity to follow XDG Base Directory Specification.

Don't think install script works on mac

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doctormo/GimpPs/master/tools/install.sh)"

I ran this and started Gimp -- it looks exactly the same to me.

I went to File -> Preferences -> Themes and only see "Default" and "Small". Not "GimpPs" theme.

Please add screenshots to README.md

Can you make this a windows package?

Windows package is starting to happen. So an idea maybe.

Incorrect Windows Paths

Thanks so much for putting this together!

Just a little correction for readme.md - for windows users (at least in Windows 7 and above), the GIMP profile directory is actually %APPDATA%\GIMP\2.10\ (command prompt) or $env:appdata\GIMP\2.10 (powershell). Once I found the proper directory to clone into it works perfectly.

Resize issue

Not really a strong issue but after coping and starting gimp it seemed odd but using my mouse to resize it seem to solve the problem

Maybe the path changed in Gimp 2.10?

Cannot find path 'C:\Users\pc\gimp-2.8' because it does not exist. (my username is pc)

All gray after install the theme

Hi! After install the theme all looks very gray. Exists any fix?
Thanks for your help!

support hidpi

Any chance to support HIDPI-style icons like https://github.com/jedireza/gimp-hidpi?

Mind clarifying Linux installation?

Having trouble getting this in. Ran the script and started Gimp again but the only evidence of it is psicons as a theme option. If I am missing something maybe others are as well?

spacebar+drag

when I do spacebar+drag I have a weird experience because moving the mouse also moves the canvas.

not a big deal but is possible to disable the mouse moving the canvas?

License?

What license is this under?

Windows path for 2.10.36

What is the path for windows 11? and 2.10.36?

maximize button is gone

Hi there

First of all a big thank you for your work!

But i have 2 issues:
1e On Manjaro 17 (arch linux based) with the default installed gimp (2.8.22) there is no maximize button.
2e when i press help about the screen goes from maximize to a smaller size and obviously can go back to full screen hence the missing button.

On my other pc running linuxmint 18.3 with gimp 2.8.16 there is no problem at all.

Can you look in to this?

Wrong error message in install.sh

In tools/install.sh:

  env git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/doctormo/GimpPs.git $gimp_ps_directory || {
    printf "Error: git clone of oh-my-zsh repo failed\n"
    exit 1
  }

I am pretty sure that this repo here is not called "oh-my-zsh".

4k Display support

The tool icons are really small. Does this theme support 4k display. What is the option to modify to get the proper sizing. pic preview. just wanted to make sure i didn't miss anything.

tools icons hard to see on dark themes

hi, first of all i want to thank you for your effort.

i would like to report as the title mention.
i wish i can help to contribute but i dont know how.

thank you

Icon size appears to be very small

The current settings use a very small icon size for the tools. The default value in gtkrc is GimpToolPalette::tool-icon-size = menu and produces icons which are significantly smaller than the saved icons. Setting GimpToolPalette::tool-icon-size = small-toolbar seems closer to the look of Adobe Photoshop.

How to install in the new Gimp 2.10?

only that, is to remember you there should try to update the thing. and thanks for this work.
