 Note that we still consider this feature a work in progress, as dark themes still need some fine-tuning 
(especially regarding the color of inactive menu items).
 
 The new UI themes are accompanied by symbolic icons originally created by Barbara Muraus and Jakub Steiner, 
and heavily updated and completed by Klaus Staedtler. The existing icon theme from past releases of GIMP has 
also been preserved, and users can freely switch between available icon themes and easily add their own ones.
 
-Note that themes and icon themes are now separate: you can easily mix your favorite UI with various icon 
sets. Also since most 2.8 themes would end up broken in 2.9.x, themes are not migrated from GIMP < 2.9. Users 
who want custom themes will have to install ones specifically made for GIMP 2.9.x/2.10.

 All work on icons by Klaus Staedtler is made on vector (SVG) images, which should allow better support for 
HiDPI displays (also commonly known as Retina) soon. Vector icons are an experimental feature, available 
after using `--enable-vector-icons` build configure option. Note that this option does not allow HiDPI 
support at this time.

 ## Color Management Improvements
 
-Color Management implementation got a complete overhaul in this version of GIMP. Instead of being a 
pluggable module, it's a core feature now. Moreover, we added an abstraction layer that makes GIMP less 
dependent on LittleCMS. This means that in the future GIMP could use native APIs on Windows and OS X, and/or 
use [OCIO](http://opencolorio.org/).

on Windows and OS X, and/or use [OCIO](http://opencolorio.org/).
 
 For now, it has helped us to clean up the code a lot and introduce clean implementation of color management 
to various bits of GIMP such as: previews for flat and gradient swatches, patterns, various color widgets 
(including the drag-and-drop color widget), the Color Picker tool, layer and image preview etc. The only 
unmanaged bit for now is the color widget in Script-Fu and Python-Fu plugins. Moreover, GIMP will track which 
monitor the widget is currently on (different minotors would have different ICC profiles assigned to them) 
and color-correct it accordingly.

you to choose either better color fidelity of faster processing depending on the kind of work you usually do.

+GIMP now keeps track of [GEGL](http://gegl.org/)-based filters that you used within one session and allows 
re-running them via the `Filters > Recently Used` submenu, just like old GIMP plug-ins.
 
 _Posterize_ and _Desaturate_ color tools have been converted to regular GEGL-based filters, and both _Tile_ 
and _Pagecurl_ filters have been converted to use GEGL buffers. A quite popular "photographic" _Highpass_ 
filter commonly used for enhancing details was added to the `Filters > Enhance` submenu.
 
 (FIXME SCREENSHOT)
 
-A way more noticeable new feature, however, is split preview for GEGL-based filters. You can compare 
before/after versions right on canvas and move a "curtain" around to see more of "before" or "after" and swap 
their position. You can also switch between vertical and horizontal division.

 * "Mandala" is a **rotational symmetry** of any order. The center can be placed anywhere on canvas.
 * "Tiling" is a **translational symmetry**, which can be finite (with a maximum of strokes) or infinite. In 
the latter case, it is the perfect tool to create patterns or seamless tiles, with instant rendering of what 
it will look like, at painting time.

_Feathered_ creates a selection that goes gradually from 1 to 0 the farther you get from the middle of the
