HyperflatGraphite
The GIMP 3 series cements its place as a professional and truly advanced piece of software.
It deserves a UI to match.
After completing v1 of my PrintroomExpertSuperflat theme, I decided to start work on a dark version. HyperflatGraphite is the result.
Hyperflat
The interface is clarified and extraneous visual detail is removed. You are left with what you really need, and what you need is easy to see.
Everything has space to breathe, without encroaching on the image more than necessary.
Graphite
The colour value of all elements are equal RGB, meaning your perception of colour in the image remains unbiased.
The dark scheme is laid back and easy on the eye, ideal for creative sessions running deep into the night.
Download
Download the .zip file, then extract it, and place the HyperflatGraphite folder wherever GIMP looks for themes on your system.
If you're unsure where that is, go to Edit > Preferences > Folders (click the arrow to open the dropdown) > Themes in GIMP.
Flatpak users please read below.
Flatpak
When installed via Flatpak, GIMP folders can be hard to find. I recommend using GIMP's option to add your own folder for downloaded themes:
- Create a new folder e.g ‘my-gimp-themes’ anywhere on your computer where you're unlikely to accidentally delete or move it in future, and then place the unzipped HyperflatGraphite folder inside it.
- Then, in GIMP, go to Edit > Preferences > Folders > Themes, click the ‘Add a new folder’ button on the left and then the ‘Open a file selector…’ button on the right and select the my-gimp-themes folder you just created.
- Click the OK button.
- Restart GIMP.
- Go to Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme and select HyperflatGraphite
All further downloaded themes can be placed in the my-gimp-themes folder too, and will become available in GIMP when you restart it.
