How do I change the UI to match the user guide?

[AshleyPikachu]

Hello, I switched to linux and I'm using the flatpak version of Pinta (Version 3.1.2), and I noticed on my friends computer Pinta UI matches the user guide while mine does not. It looks so much like Paint.net it makes feel right at home and I like to be able to use it as well. :)

How do I set this up? Thanks!

Okay based on my research, I am going to assume my friend installed a older version of Pinta, is this correct?

Correct, your friend likely has Pinta 1.x installed which is quite old. You can enable a different menubar layout if you prefer, from the View menu (the "eye" icon) -> Show/Hide -> Menu Bar

Thanks Cameron, I checked with my friend and yeah their copy was way out of date, all fixed on their end. On that note, have you considered allowing users to make their own icon packs? I be happy to make some.

I think that's technically possible if the icons are installed in the right place for GTK to pick them up in the system icon search path. But there are some ongoing efforts to improve the default icons, e.g. #2122
