here are some comments form my DeviantArt

Linux

Works fine on Debian Wheezy / Gimp 2.8.x

Dark theme crashes on Ubuntu 12.04, but Light works fine.

light theme under Ubuntu 12.04 and Gimp 2.8.6 and it seems to work OK.
user did not mention the dark theme.

No problem for me with a fresh Ubuntu 13.04 install. Using GIMP 2.8.4,
though, it seems the 2.8.6 version isn't in the Ubuntu repos.
~Still works for me. I am now on Ubuntu 13.10 with GIMP 2.8.6 (was
2.8.4 when I tested the previous version).


White theme works for me (gimp 2.8.6 on arch linux), but the dark one
fails with:


Windows

windows 7 - GIMP 2.8.6, same problem dark crashses GIMP, light, icons
do not show
~ Sorry for the the delay, and sorry, no luck yet, maybe im doing
something wrong? windows 7 64 bit GIMP 2.8.6

I already tested it on Windows XP, but when I choose the dark theme,
GIMP crashes, and when I choose the light theme, doesn't show any
single icon.

Does anybody tested this on Windows NT 6.X?


Mac

The dark theme crashes on Mac (10.8.4) (GIMP 2.8.6)

Hmm.. well I will do that next time it crashes on me. but it does not
crash on me anymore.
 but the others still do. once I updated the theme I contacted them
and it still did I denoted that above by a "~".

 well I can see how I messed some icons, there are a lot. as for the
gtkrc I kinda just took a bunch of different themes mashed them
together and ctrl found colors till switching them out got the look I
wanted. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing with these themes. I
did not know there was anything wrong with the gtkrc and have no idea
where to start. I really wanted this to be a GMIP only theme, there
seems to be a lot of GIMIP themes out there that can be used for many
applications and there for have a lot of extra stuff that GIMP dose
not need.

 I will do so.

yes install my theme and see if it crashes GMIP :P I really am
confused about how the same theme can work on one OS and crash on
others. some people it crashes immediately, others it does not. some
the light theme works and others it dose not crash GIMP but none of my
icons show up.

I have no idea how to answer your GTK+ questions. All I know about GTK
is that its a desktop environment. again I just mashed some themes
together and prayed it worked. if your question is what version my
Ubuntu OS uses then I may be able to help, if you tell me how to find
that out.  if your asking what my users are using, what ever comes
with the windows and mac versions of GIMP I assume. if your asking
what version that gtkrc file is written under, then again I have no
idea. I do not even know what theme I originally took my gtkrc file
from.

I am sorry I could not be more help, I have only just started using
Linux as my only OS. I am quite new at this.
