I'm a UK-based photographer specialising in photographing people and artwork. I also teach FOSS (free and open source) software relating to photography and graphic design, both in-person and online via videolink. If you need help with GIMP, RawTherapee, Geeqie or Shotwell get in touch :)

  • This sounds very convenient and I think Wayland does use colord - will give it a go 👍

  • How to disable all colour management?

    Jump

  • You can create a color management profile that doesn’t do anything

    That would actually be great! I need a completely un-managed baseline to build off. How is it done?

    you will most likely be happier doing whatever you’re doing on a mac.

    I have too much sunk cost fallacy with this now and cannot turn back. If you have any practical tips for survival please share them!

  • That's an interesting idea - thanks. Perhaps a simple window manager would have no colour management to begin with. Will look into it 👍

  • GIMP is also consistently one of the top-rated applications in GNOME Software.

    Jump

  • Interesting. That aligns somewhat with another comment I heard recently about buttons.

    I'm not currently able to change the actual icons in my themes, but their 'brightness' is easy to adjust. If you want to do it yourself you can edit the rgb values on line 180 in the gimp.css file starting '@define-color fg-color'. They're currently set at 245 but you could change them to 230 for example.

  • Is it safe to assume that all apps from the software store (Discover in my case) are safe?

    Jump

  • Yes, you've got it 👍

    You can basically just treat everything available in Discover as good, because everything there will either be from Debian or from Flathub.

    I'm on Debian 13 too but have the GNOME desktop environmet.

  • Is it safe to assume that all apps from the software store (Discover in my case) are safe?

    Jump

  • Just to clarify what others are saying: the 'software store' (Discover in your case) is just the graphical application that you use to manage the software installed on your computer. The repositories, aka 'repos' are the sources of that software. There are people whose job it is to vet the software in those repositories and make sure that it's safe. Flatpak is a packaging format. The biggest repository (and what you likely have enabled) for flatpaks is Flathub. If you're installing software from the Debian repo and Flathub you should be fine. You should be able to verify which repositories are enabled via the Discover app. You have the freedom to add other repositories too, but it will be your own responsibility to evaluate whether those sources are trustworthy if you do.

    Long story short, if you just use Debian as it is, you are fine.

  • Thanks 👍

  • Why does Discover offer me to "update" GNOME if I'm using KDE Plasma?

    Jump

  • Don't worry, I get KDE updates in GNOME.

  • @Hadriscus@jlai.lu - what do you think?

    Btw I've deepened the contrast as a whole based on your feedback - both in this and the PrintroomExpertSuperflat theme - and am happier with them.

  • Glad you found it and hope you're enjoying the theme :)

  • Thanks for the detailed feedback - perspective is very useful!

    notably on popups (ones that appear on hover)

    Do you mean the ‘tooltips’ (little windows that pop up and tell you what something does)? I think I'll make these a bit darker.

    That's a good observation about the plus/minus icons and text padding and I agree with you. It may be possible to override this in the theme CSS but I'm not certain. If not then it's still something I would pass on to the UX team.

    It's a delicate balancing act with padding and spacing - too little makes everything look cramped, and too much pushes the panels too far out into the image canvas on smaller displays like laptops. Your idea of reducing icon size is a sensible one for this reason too.

  • The Folders button on the left should be a dropdown menu - are you able to click on the arrow next to it to expand it and scroll down to see everything under it?

  • Thanks, that's very encouraging of you :) This was the first time I'd ever made a theme (or even used CSS) so it was quite a long process. It's really nice to hear that someone else has found value in it.

    So many people seem to be piling on Gimp because of its UI (at least some of it is unwarranted and due to reputation I’m sure), I wouldn’t understimate the potential impact of a “simple” theme.

    You know just this afternoon I started wondering the same thing... It kind of blew my mind to think that all the vitriol online about the UI could just be a case of theming. No one is very specific about their complaints, so it hadn't crossed my mind.

    I think if I get a good response to my dark theme too I will approach the devs and offer to help implement it as a core part of GIMP. BTW if you fancy testing it out let me know - I'd appreciate it getting tested on another system before I release it.
