Amazing! Thank you!

Curiosity: is it my specific case, or does Gimp 3 defaults to the dark theme? The icon set of the system theme honestly looks superior, if compared to the dark one.

Edit: just tried the non destructive editing. This is a game changer!

Yes, dark theme is the default - but you can easily change both it and the icon theme via the Personalize section of the Welcome Dialogue. :)

It's literally the very first thing I do every time I happen to install Gimp. I could be in the minority, but honestly the dark theme does not give the best first impression.

I ran all the development editions, and the colour themes disappeared late in the development cycle and have not been reinstated.

So I really don't understand why colour theme has been removed, and in fact my system upgrade from 2.10.xx only has a Default and Legacy themes.

For icons, Color and Symbolic were combined into the Default icon theme. On the Personalize section of the Welcome dialogue (or in Preferences), if you select Default icon theme and then uncheck "Use symbolic icons if available", it will show the Color icons.
