Parthas compiled versions have a darker default theme also.
Parthas Place

There is a portable and also an install version available.

You mean, I can download GIMP from there, and the themes already in it, or i should download the themes from there ?

You can also download this theme package and place it in your Gimp folder. It has several light and dark themes to choose from attachments below

Unpack and place the themes folder into your Gimp 2.xx folder. Open Gimp > Edit > preferences > theme and you will see the themes. Just click on them to see them and or select what you want.

Hey Rod, long time no post?

Saif, yes, you can download Gimp and plugins useful for photography from my website. The dark theme is my default.
