This will be evident, for example, in the updated slider widget where you get minus and plus buttons right next to the slider. I also don’t really like numeric controls in GTK3. Toolbox icons are not tiny, brush previews are not tiny and so on.Īlthough, right now all I have here is a smaller HiDPI display, 2560 by 1440 pixels, and everything looks kinda huge to me, even with fractional scaling. If you have a FullHD laptop and an external HiDPI display and you use GIMP on both of them, you should be fine as well. Simply put, if you have a 4K display, you should be fine now. The most important difference is that the unstable version of GIMP handles HiDPI displays vastly better because the support is built right into the user interface toolkit and thus there is no need to add ugly hacks. The new unstable series is based on a newer version of the user interface toolkit called GTK. This is partially true and partially false. So let’s talk about major differences.įor some reason, there’s a popular opinion that GTK3, the user interface toolkit, is going to right many wrongs for GIMP in terms of user interface. GIMP 2.99.2 has been released and it actually comes with changes that are not available in the stable series which is 2.10. Here is my obligatory disclaimer that I’m affiliated with the GIMP project, so you should take anything I say about it with a grain of salt.
