The new version features several new themes by Benoit Touchette in various shades of grey: Lighter, Light,
Gray, Dark, Darker. System theme has been preserved for users who prefer completely consistent look of user
interfaces across all desktop applications.
+(FIXME SCREENSHOT)

Note that we still consider this feature a work in progress, as dark themes still need some fine-tuning
(especially regarding the color of inactive menu items).
The new UI themes are accompanied by symbolic icons created by Barbara Muraus, Benoit Touchette, and Klaus
Staedtler. The existing icon theme from past releases of GIMP has also been preserved, and users can freely
switch between available icon themes and easily add their own ones.
Klaus Staedtler is also working on vector (SVG) icons for HiDPI displays (also commonly known as Retina).
It's an experimental feature, available after using '--enable-vector-icons' build configure option.
-We cleaned the Preferences dialog a little and reordered option in a more logical manner. The Color
Management page was redesigned following both internal and user-visible changes in relevant parts of GIMP
(see below), and _Snap Distance_ options have been moved to a dedicated _Snapping_ page.

-Additionally, it is now possible to configure the size of undo step previews in the Undo dialog via the
Preferences dialog, which was only possible by manually editing GIMP's configuration file before, by a
complete oversight on our part.

The startup spalsh screen now features a pulsing progress bar to indicate that GIMP is not frozen. This, as
well as initializing fontconfig in the background (also a new feature in 2.9.4), is meant to address a common
issue where rebuilding fonts cache (or building it for the first time) can take a lot of time hence making an
impression that GIMP freezes at startup. We acknowledge that this is a workaround. Fixing the actual reason
involves hacking on fontconfig. If you are interested, there is a [bug
report](https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64766) on that.

Greyscale images are first class citizens in GIMP again: since v2.9.4, GIMP can color-manage them as well.
+(FIXME SCREENSHOT)

Since GIMP currently relies on sRGB (this is bound to change in future versions of GIMP), we decided to
expose that in the user interface. So currently GIMP has an option called 'Color-manage this image' in two
places: the _New Image_ dialog and the `Image > Color Management` submenu. What it means is that instead of
taking into consideration the ICC profile embedded into an image (whichever profile it is) it will just treat
everything as sRGB. Please note that we are likely to reword the option to make it even more explicit about
what it does.
Additionally, there's now a `View > Color Management` submenu as well where you can enable and control
softproofing.

_Posterize_ and _Desaturate_ color tools have been converted to regular GEGL-based filters, and both _Tile_
and _Pagecurl_ filters have been converted to use GEGL buffers. A quite popular "photographic" _Highpass_
filter commonly used for enhancing details was added to the `Filters > Enhance` submenu.
+(FIXME SCREENSHOT)

A way more noticeable new feature, however, is split preview for GEGL-based filters. You can compare
before/after versions right on canvas and move a "curtain" around to see more of "before" or "after" and swap
their position. You can also switch between vertical and horizontal division.
