Gimp 2.10 users

Gimp 2.10 as first installed looks totally different from Gimp 2.8 but don't panic, the difference you see is largely cosmetic.

Gimp 2.10 when first opened :-

It looks nothing like Gimp 2.8 that I have used in my videos :-

However with a few simple tweaks it can look like this:=

To change the settings in the top menu select EDIT > PREFERENCES > THEME and select  the SYSTEM line, then select EDIT > PREFERENCES > ICON THEME and select the LEGACY line.

 Select OK at the bottom of the PREFERENCES window to save these settings and your Gimp should look more like my videos!
