24.8. Configuring GIMP

24.8.1. Customizing Windows

It is possible to customize your window layout extensively. Dialogs can be combined as multiple items in one window or with tabs. Do this by dragging and dropping a dockable window into a dock bar or existing tab. New dialogs can be opened with File -> Dialogs from the toolbox.

24.8.2. Setting Preferences

A number of configuration options are available in File -> Preferences. The default settings should meet the needs of the average user. It may be useful, however, to review the options under Environment -> Resource Levels and Interface -> Image Windows.
