Quickie? How to change Gimp's Script-Fu console colors?
 
I am learning about scripting with Gimp, interested in executing the same commands for fairly big sets of images.

I found the tutorial

https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-...-tutorial.html

And from Gimp itself, we have this help page pointed from the "help" button in the console menu:

1. "Filters > Script-fu > Terminal"

2. "Filters > Python-fu > Console" (which will also open a "console")

https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/pt_BR/gimp...hon-fu-console

But these console have pure white backgrounds! I can look 10 seconds to them, it hurts my eyes (and brightness is already zero in my monitor). The window manager theme is all dark... and Gimp inherits them for everything else.

(By the way, how would I make+safe+multipleFileExecute a script to do, for example the menu function of "Colors > Invert", which is an operation with no parameters to choose for any image?)

Strange, both windows follow my dark GTK theme...
Did you set gimp's internal theme to Dark?

Gimp follow the Mate Desktop dark theme only for other parts.

And i did not know that Gimp had own themes! But i have only "Default" and "Small" preinstalled. I will search for others now. Should not be hard to find. Thank you!

Problem solved, but why? (an issue about editing and playing with Gimp's themes)
 
First few search results, something from the first few options in that page, but no mention of "console" or "terminal". Maybe because very few users use them - fine. So, let's try:

https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1199683/

Downloaded the version "3-2.8" tar.gz file of the options in that page. Extracted it to ~/.gimp/themes/. It did not show as option in Gimp - had to reload Gimp for that.

But the theme worked! Now the console uses the same colors as (the rest of the Gimp's windows, which is a bit different from my normal windows... but i can live with that).

Now, the theme changed many other things. I thought about making a minimal theme which would JUST the terminal colors. I opened the gtkrc of the theme and searched for "console", and for "terminal" case insensitively. No result. Since ondoho said his Gimp is normal, i tried to search for those words in the Default theme, system wide. Surprisingly, it is a much smaller text file, but also no result.

About a theme: How do i discover, without silly trial and error, what in it changes the console colors? If you know the answer, please say it too.

Meta-comment: at this point, I am unsure of what to do with the thread. Mark as solved? Or let it as is, until this post question is answered too (which is my choice)?
