Just started to have a go at this. I looked everywhere in the gimp 2.8 folder and couldn't find the file. So I did a search and found one that is apparently a pdf but will not open? It is only 430 bytes.

You should have a gtkrc in your personal .gimp-2.8 folder (mine is 616 bytes), but this has very little in it to customise.

You would be much better off downloading an existing theme into your personal themes folder and then working on a copy of that. As Warrior says, keep the original untouched as a reference.

In a short investigation, I've found the Stonewashed theme to be the most functionally complete on my Windows machines: http://thegimp.ca/gimp-2-8-dark-theme-stonewashed/

Oh, and because the gtkrc file doesn't have a file extension (.txt .csv etc) it might be difficult to associate with an application to open it, so I'd advise opening the text editor of your choice first and loading the gtktc from there.

All around good advice. I started with the Greenheart theme, and modded it.

Thanks, I'll have another look

It'll be soon my friend.

Mine is 430 bytes also sallyanne. Just right click the file and click open with notepad, or whatever your editor is. Mine is Gedit in Linux.

I like the bow and eyelashes Molly

Gonna release this in a few days. I think I have all the bases covered. I'll start a new thread for it.

I'm looking forward to that.

One of the things that caught me out was the curves tool - I had managed to make the grid lines, the curve and the mouse pointer the same colour as the background so they disappeared completely!

Haha, that's awesome. I had to darken the bg a little, so the lines would show, haha.
