Removing GIMP logo from the application background #98

In order for this to look and feel like photoshop, that annoying, over-sized logo peeking at the user from behind the active windows should really, really go.

If i interprete the source code to Gimp correctly, this logo is embedded to the gimp binary. So you would substitute this logo with a blank one and recompile the binary. In my opinion this could be out of scope of PhotoGimp.

I am not sure this is the case. I did find an old photoshop-like theme for gimp which eliminates the logo. It's an instruction somewhere in the theme files.

Care to share this old theme?

@jayp76 I found the theme here! https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/09/msg00268.html And it still works.

Here it is on the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20160213025658/http://rgb4u.com/share/gimp-theme-project.zip Can't remember how I got there in the first place.

Thank you both.

Here is an example how you can add it to PhotoGimp. Locate your "gtkrc" file. In Windows for example it is located in the "C:\Users#USERNAME#\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10" folder. Please change it to your username accordingly. Edit the gtkrc file with a texteditor. I used Notepad++ in Unix LF mode. Add following to the end of the file, save and restart Gimp. Hopefully i have the colour codes picked correctly.

####################################################### ######## GimpDisplay = Main GIMP Window - with Big Wilber ########################################################

style "gimp-display-style" = "gimp-default-style" { bg[NORMAL] = "#2d2d2d" # Main Window BG bg[PRELIGHT] = "#2d2d2d" # Unknow bg[SELECTED] = "#2d2d2d" # Unknow bg[INSENSITIVE] = "#2d2d2d" # Unknow bg[ACTIVE] = "#2d2d2d" # Unknow
}

widget "GimpDisplayShell." style "gimp-display-style"

######################################################## ######### Big Wilber in Main-Window ############################################ style "gimp-display-style" = "BigWilber" { fg[NORMAL] = "#333333"} # 333333 = 2d2d2d +2 to B(rigthness) in HSB color value
widget "GimpDisplayShell." style "BigWilber"
