You can get the dock tool bar at http://rocketdock.com/ Rich. (Windows only i believe)

Normally Gimp will take any user gimp-2.6 folder and copy everything to a new gimp-2.7 folder including rc files.
I created my own 2.7 folder then installed 2.7.3 because i know some of the scripts are too deprecated to run in 2.7's new interface.Themes will not work either they make things vanish into thin air. - Once you create the 2.7 folder Gimp will use it instead.

But back on subject i know of no other single window mode than 2.7 that actually works somewhat.
Gerard is Gimpbox's only flavor in Linux version or is it just one executable Python script?Maybe i can test in Windows?
Gimp-2.8 should be out by October-November this year and single window mode should be a user option in that version.(hopefully it will retain its window setting), as the only thing i find wrong with it is the setting isn't established in the gimprc (preferences) file.I never did try writing it in manually that may work.

Having to resize and adjust the main window constantly has always been one of my two complaints about gimp. I've looked forward to single window for a long time. I'll try this the next time I have linux running.

Keep GIMP as is I say. I can care less with a single Window mode. That's my opinion. I know others have a differently one. To eaches own.

Hi Rod,
gimpbox.py is a single python script.
Running it in Windows should theoretically be possible provided you can find MS equivalents for the dependencies.
In the first part you'll find this:


And of course you'll need python.
@Gms9810,
I agree with you on the resizing problem,that's why I wanted this too.
Ubuntu must have done something that's not standard stuff to make this work.

I upgraded some of the wnck programs to unstable but same result.
Gerard.
