Well I am on Linux too. By searching the web, I found indeed many
themes, with nice screenshots of GIMP in dark, and saying it works
with 2.8. But each and every time I try one, it has problems, like
actually not getting black for some reason, or only partly (like menus
in dark, but not the side tools/windows, etc.). So it is always
different from the screenshot. Very weird.
