Photoshop styled themes for Gimp 2.8.18 and above.

GIMP CC Theme

[ Backported from GIMP 2.9.2 themes for use with GIMP 2.8.18 and above. Will no longer be supported after this release. ]

Collection of three themes i created to give GIMP 2.8.x a similar look and feel as you'd find in Photoshop.

Install

Copy the theme folders to the locations here depending on your OS :

Windows: %userprofile%\.gimp-2.8\themes

Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8/themes or ~/.gimp-2.8/themes

• (You may have to unhide the Library folder first)

Linux: ~/.gimp-2.8/themes or /home/<your user name>/.gimp-2.8/themes

Note

• The PS style icons i believe are from Martin Owens (at http://gimpstuff.org/content/show.php/Toolbox+Icons+like+Photoshop?content=159292) though i got theme through another theme.
• To have similar keyboard shortcuts copy the ps_menurc to your personal .gimp-2-8 folder and rename it to menurc (original available at http://epierce.freeshell.org/gimp/gimp_ps.php).
• Lifehacker has a nice article on making GIMP closer to Photoshop http://lifehacker.com/how-to-make-the-gimp-work-more-like-photoshop-1551318983 .
• Make the toolbar icons smaller by add the line after the colon to the beginning of the gtkrc file for the desired theme : gtk-icon-sizes = "gtk-small-toolbar=16,16:gtk-large-toolbar=16,16"
