This is why I am wondering about this passage to dark themes for software UI now. And if you stay on this UI for hours every day, I really wonder about the good or bad of light on dark background. Or else are all the web UI thoughts about not overusing dark backgrounds wrong?
Well I am on Linux too. By searching the web, I found indeed many themes, with nice screenshots of GIMP in dark, and saying it works with 2. So it is always different from the screenshot. Very weird. Our perception of color and brightness are powerfully altered by the color and brightness of adjacent regions.
This well known optical illusion illustrates the principle:. One of the first things I do when setting up a GIMP installation is set a custom canvas padding color right in the middle of unsaturated gray. However, when working on images for web pages, I often reset the canvas padding to the background color of the page where the image will be displayed.
For reading text, I think black on white is nearly as hard on the eyes as white on black. The GIMP website design agrees with my information on this subject: In addition to the neutral gray background, the GIMP site's text boxes div class "note" have a light, low saturation background color ddffcc that is a little on the blue side of green.
I generally use something even less saturated, for instance the background of the main container div on my text-heavy personal site is f9ffff. This all goes back to studies done in the s on workplace ergonomics; the hypothetical ideal background for reading black text was found to be somewhere around cfe3de.
I set a similar background color for text display areas in desktop themes. I do a lot of reading and typing, and it seems to reduce eyestrain. We might take it for granted that "desktop wallpaper" is supposed to be very distracting i. Themes available are Dark as default theme , light, gray, and system. For those of you who do not like the default theme dark.
You can replace it with the following steps:. In the Preferences menu, you can see the Theme menu in the left bar. When you select the menu, there will be some options as I mentioned above like this:. If you have chosen the theme that you want, do not forget to click OK, to save the settings.
