[SOLVED]Gimp size too small

Gimp 2.10
To fix toolbar icon sizes, update Preferences->Interface->Icon Theme->Custom icon size to huge or other value.

If menu fonts are still too small you can update an existing theme by copying it from /usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes into ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/themes/ and changing gtk-font-name and font_name in gtkrc into something bigger like Sans 30. Then select the new theme from Preferences > Interface > Theme. When copying make sure to rename the new directory into something different from the original name (example Dark > DarkHighDPI).

You can also try using gimp-hidpi (installation instructions are outdated and refer to version 2.8, in Gimp 2.10 the theme should be installed into ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/themes/)

I've done all the above to no avail, nothing changed. I'm not sure where to go from here.

What I did exactly was:

1. changed the settings in preferences and made the icon size huge.

2.

mkdir ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/themes/DarkHighDPI

3. from within

/usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes/Dark

I

sudo cp -r gtkrc ui ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/themes/DarkHighDPI

4. I edited the gtkrc file with sans 30

5. Then from within the gimp program again I changed the theme settings to

DarkHighDPI

6. rebooted my laptop started gimp, still no changed.

Forgot to mention I did step 4.

Totally my mistake. When I was editing the gtkrc file I didn't notice that it was commented out.
