Flavors
There are two flavors:
- The "Graublau basic" flavor, which is mainly an icon theme, containing only little modifications of GTK styling.
- The "Graublau OSX" flavor, which additionally to the icons also implements some GUI styles (buttons, scrollbars, etc.) adapting the Gimp's look more to Mac OSX.
Installation
- Copy the Graublau (and/or Graublau-OSX) folder into the \Themes\ folder of your GIMP 2.8 installation.
- Start the GIMP and activate the theme by selecting it via: Edit > Preferences > Theme
- Restart GIMP for the theme to be activated
Theme Path by OS:
- Linux: (Run GIMP at least once to have the preference directory created, and than) Copy the theme into the (hidden) directory: \Home\.GIMP\.theme
- Windows: Copy the theme into: C: > Users > YOUR_USER_NAME > .gimp-2.8 > themes.
- Mac OS X using Finder: Open contents of GIMP application package. Navigato to: Contents > Resources > share > gimp > 2.0 > themes. Paste Graublau theme folder here.
Icon Variants and Modifications
For the main toolbox icons this theme contains a colored "active", and an "inactive" version, with the latter having been reduced to grayscale and opacity between 70% and 80%. Additionally, many of the icons used within the menus have been replaced.
To achieve optimal "crisp" icons with intact elements such as outlines, gradients, shadows, etc, down-scaling is done manually and not calculational. None of the icons has been scaled up.
To achieve an overall harmonic look, several icons have been adapted in some ways:
- Size and colors (main non-grey color is blueish now in all icons) adjusted
- Removed or replaced sub elements (arrows, shadows, etc.)
- Corrected contrast and brightness
- Added shadows
