How To Make The GIMP's Layout Like Photoshop's.

[stefisdefis]

What theme do you use? If you have edit it yourself, can you paste the code or a tutorial :D ? Thank you for your time, great job by the way!

[GIMPMan1972]

@stefisdefis Thanks.

It was the old elementary theme as I remember, no idea were you can get it now.

[thedeapee]

Very good, thanks

[ThisSuperNerd010]

You sir, are a life saver! :D Definite like from me.

[GIMPMan1972]

@ThisSuperNerd010 Glad it helped. :)

[mel2000]

Good job! Is there a script available that can re-create those settings?

[GIMPMan1972]

@mel2000 Thanks. No not that I know of.

[DeathBoyJr5]

Hello! lets just start by geting a microphone!

[GIMPMan1972]

@ThePolarisKid Or you could learn to read

[Justgoodvids]

gimpshop is not active...

[Pernig]

Thanks for this tutorial, it's been a great help. Did you know that once you have made the first tab, you can add more tabs by going on the 'configure this tab' menu instead of going up to Windows and dropping the new tabs in?

[GIMPMan1972]

@Pernig You're welcome. Yes but I just wanted to show people that rather than drag and drop.

[GIMPMan1972]

@zJaYHD You're welcome, glad it helped.

[manclip2]

that was made on a linux distro that has kde desktop right? if so can someone tell me the name of theme he is using? i would like to have it.

[GIMPMan1972]

@manclip2 GNOME actually and the theme is elementary GTK.

[dfpcmaia]

...or, you know, there's Gimpshop.

[NGMan62]

It would probably be best if all the three panels were combined as this would save space with the fact that the window buttons for Windows at the top right would be blocked.

[GIMPMan1972]

@NGMan62 Yeah, I didn't show it for a reason because when I did the video, I didn't even know you could and it's not very intuitive trying to combine the panels.

[NGMan62]

A Photoshop fanboy disliked this.

[BabyHumpsz]

where do you get the theme from, the grey title bars and such, mine is awful

[scopigirl]

Thanks. =)

[IMMAEATURCUPCAKE]

[aRiiiSAYRISiii]

Is this on MAC?

[GIMPMan1972]

@aRiiiSAYRISiii You can get it for OS X yes.

[1337mainerror]

Nice tut there. Thanks.

[circuitoquemado]

Great tutorial! I would like to see Gimp devs do this by default because its original layout really sucks.

[eksasol]

I've been having my layout like that all long. Except the right panel is one window split into sections, not three separate windows.

To keep the layout, save the file "sessionrc". To keep the Preferences, save the file "gimprc". These two files are in GiMP's profile folder, which in Windows is located in: %userprofile%/.gimp-2.6

(assuming you are using version 2.6).

[GIMPMan1972]

@eksasol Yes but Photoshop has three panels, The GIMP cannot do a three section panel in one. If you combine them, it's not like Photoshop, that's the point of this. :)

[passerby500]

@GIMPMan1972

you can also combine those 3 panels so they only have one windows decoration between the 3 of them i would post a pic but youtube want let me link things in comments

[GIMPMan1972]

@passerby500 How do you actually do that? As for as I can see, I can only drag into the top or bottom panel and not in between.

[passerby500]

@passerby500 above where the tabs are on a panel there is a small area to drag things onto you just have do it 1 item at a time, there is one of these areas at the very top and the very bottom of each containment for dockable stuff.

if done this on both the linux (openSuSE) version and on the windows (7) version.

[GIMPMan1972]

@passerby500 Ahhh, that's just real tricky to find but yeah I see now, thanks.

[passerby500]

@GIMPMan1972 ya i found it by accident, though i wish it would work more like the panels in a KDE app like dolphin or amarok which is much more obvious with it's animation and overlay while moving panels.

[NawafLol]

Can i save the layout ?!

[GIMPMan1972]

@NawafLol

Yes, it saves the layout on exit but you can save it manually in Edit>Preferences>Window Management. I assume that's what you mean?

[NawafLol]

@GIMPMan1972 Yep i got it !

[Linux4ignition]

GREAT!

[librano]

What version GIMP are you using? And do you have any idea when the single window UI is going to be out?

[GIMPMan1972]

@librano I'm using 2.6.8. The GIMP 2.8 will have a single window option, which is being worked on right now. You can get the development version (2.7.0).
