Comment 1 Nate Graham 2024-08-22 15:05:00 UTC

This is an issue in the app itself. Also, I can't reproduce it in GIMP 2.10.38. Are you using a newer version e.g. the version 3 beta or something?

Comment 2 Daniel Kraus 2024-08-23 20:30:29 UTC

Oh you're right. I was totally oblivious to the fact that you can change themes in GIMP itself. Unfortunately, the dark theme is currently broken (when the DE is set to a dark theme), at least on my machine.
