OK, thanks! Though I don't have any proposals. I'm just hoping someone 
knows how to fix the following "theme" problems - there has to be a file 
somewhere that can be modified:

1. Right now every time I move the mouse over the toolbox in 
Multi-Window Mode the toolbox text gets brighter (or darker if I'm using 
the "dark" option), and the toolbox background gets darker (or lighter 
if I'm using the "dark" option), such that contrast is increased when 
the cursor is over the toolbox. And the color of the font above the 
image window also changes.

How do I modify whatever theme is being used to make this entirely 
unwanted "change colors upon hover" behavior stop?


2. Using this GTK3 stuff, my two-pane toolbox is just over 750 pixels 
wide on my 1600-pixel-wide monitor (far too wide for useability) and 
neither pane can be made any narrower. By contrast, in GIMP-2.10 using 
GTK2, the same two-pane toolbox is less than 280 pixels wide, and the 
right pane can be made arbitrarily narrower.

I found the stash of GTK3 themes installed on my computer in 
/usr/share/themes, and copied these themes over to the themes folder in 
the config folder. GIMP sees these themes, and allows me to change 
themes. But really nothing happens.


3. Is there some way to change the colors in the GTK3 theme? Right now 
the choices seem limited to
   * "too light"
   * "too dark with a hint of green-blue" (color-picks as LCh 14, 4, 
221) instead of a neutral dark gray.

It looks like the GTK2 GIMP themes weren't ported to git master. Are 
there plans to port these themes? I like the GTK2 gray theme quite a 
lot. Is there an actual GTK3 theme for GIMP?

Best,
Elle
