“Shown images below don’t represent the final version. They are
taken from an unstable developement version. Changes are
possible!

“A new optional “Single Window Mode” offers awesome new
usability features!

“Single Window Mode is an OPTIONAL feature that can be turned on
in the “Windows” menu all the time (while working).

“Floating windows like the toolbox and the dialogues will appear
inside a single “main” window now. No overlapping of windows or
something like that anymore! Also GIMP is a single application with
only one reserved task entry in the task bar.

“This feature was awaited for many years from the GIMP
community! It finally arrives with GIMP 2.8 and the single window
mode feels just awesome and offers a new great workflow with
GIMP!”
