GIMP "Dracula" inspired theme

Software GIMP
1

I’ve created a custom GIMP 3 theme inspired by the Dracula color scheme dark and easy on the eyes. Tested on Windows 11.

I built this because most of the existing GIMP themes felt… incomplete. Missing elements, inconsistent visuals – it just didn’t feel polished. So I decided to make my own.

It’s free and available here: GitHub - christosdaggas/gimp: Dracula theme for GIMP 3

Just thought I’d share it in case anyone’s interested. Feedback is welcome!

Thanks for sharing an interesting theme for Gimp 3.
Taking advantage of your presence on this forum, I would like to ask about the possibility of highlighting in menu Gimp a specific file type with a color.

Unfortunately, Gimp 3 got rid of icons in the menu very hastily and now it is sometimes difficult to guess whether a filter will offer a non-destructive operation (fx).

I would like to highlight GEGL filters with a different color that contain in their name (gegl: | ai/lb: | lb: ).

In the case of gtkrc themes, this was possible.

Can You provide a solution for css themes?

Hi.
I tried using the GTK Inspector to see if I could find a way to select or interact with the submenus, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it work.

GIMP doesn’t have “menus within menus” at the CSS level — it has:

  • menubar (the top bar)
  • menu (the popup that appears when you click an item)
  • menuitem (each entry)

Each dropdown is a new context and doesn’t have a parent pointer for chaining. So, I can’t target the main menu, then the submenu, and finally the popup menu with something like this:

menubar menu.filters menuitem:nth-child(5) {
  color: #CB0404;
  background-color: #fff;
}

I hope someone else can help more.

Thank you very much for your quick response and the time you took to try to solve the problem.

Let me ask you one more question. You can answer it when you have a moment. :grinning:

Based on your theme, I’m trying to recreate the Aurora-Midnight theme from sentiment.

Is it possible to set the background color for the tooltip separately?

(I tried changing the color separately where I found “Hint”, but somehow it didn’t work.)

This is what it looks like right now:
