Make Gimp 2.8 Look Like Adobe PhotoShop CS3!

Hello There and Welcome to a new tech tip.
today we will make gimp look and feel like  PhotoShop CS3 via some very simple steps, please read ahead!

1. Download the zipped file Gimp Themes v1.0 and install it on your computer, it’s less than 2 mbs. *There is a version for Linux here.

2. open gimp, go to windows single window mode and click it, it will collect the previously scattered windows and make it more organized, but don’t edit their look just yet.

3. Copy all of the contents of the Bin folder From [C:Program FilesGIMP-2.0] to [C:Program FilesGIMP2] And the folder Engines from
[C:Program FilesGIMP-2.0libgtk-2.02.10.0engines] to [C:Program FilesGIMP 2libgtk-2.02.10.0engines]
And  the folder Themes contents from [C:Program FilesGIMP-2.0sharethemes] to [C:Program FilesGIMP 2sharethemes]

4.  Run the application Gimpthemes-v1.0.exe located in [C:Program FilesGIMP 2bin] to select any theme you like from the ones installed (use Aroura mid night for maximum effect) then click OK.
Run gimp 2.8 normally, After success all the tools will be gone, simply drag the vertical line at both screen ends to restore them, then arrange the tools as you like.

That is all, I hope you try it and like it, please comment.
Have a wonderful day.

Recuva 1.40 Crashes Fix!!

Hello There, and welcome to another tip made easy.
Recuva Suddenly stopped working and crashes on start, doesn’t even pass the wizard, whats wrong??


Tested Os: Windows XP SP3  MS Office 2003 Professional, Recuva 1.40 slim

Just Like the Last post about gimp 2.8 Solved, this is caused by MS Office 2003 and it’s fonts, if you can’t live without Recuva then uninstall MS Office 2003 and install a free office alternative like Open office.

 

It will work right after you uninstall MS Office 2003 just try it and let me know.
Have a wonderful day.

Gimp 2.8 Blinking Problem Solved!!

If you installed the amazing Gimp 2.8 and enjoyed working on it as much as I did, you would be interested in reading this!

The issue

Gimp 2.8 crashes, loads for a split second and then vanishes, even if you view the process in task manager, you will see it for a split second and then it goes out..

Tested Os: Windows XP SP3 MS Office 2003 Professional, Gimp 2.8 RC1

 

What is causing this?

The Reason for this is Office 2003, apparently there is a font issue that is causing this bug, and it’s yet to be fixed (at the point of the post), so if you are a die-hard gimp fan you will be forced to make a choice between the two.

Tip: You can use Open Office, almost as good, absolutely free of charge.

As soon you uninstall the Office 2003 suit and reinstall gimp 2.8, it will work normally.

And That is it..

Please Comment and thank you for reading.

Have a wonderful day.
