the tabs at the top will appear (cp. Figure
). There are five choices, not all of which will be available for all types of
dialogs:
Icon This choice gives you an icon representing the dialog type.
Current Status This choice is only available for dialogs that allow you to select something, such as a brush, a pattern, a
gradient, etc. It gives you a tab showing a representation of the item currently selected.
Text This choice gives you a tab showing the dialog type in text.
Icon and Text This choice gives you wider tabs, containing both an icon and the type of dialog in text.
Status and Text This choice, where available, shows the item currently selected, as well as the type of dialog.
View as List; View as Grid These entries are shown in dialogs that allow you to select an item from a set: brushes, patterns,
fonts, etc. You can choose whether to view the items as a vertical list, with the name of each beside it, or as a grid, with
representations of the items but no names. Each has its advantages: viewing as a list gives you more information, but
viewing as a grid allows you to see many more possibilities at once. The default for this varies across dialogs: for brushes
and patterns, the default is a grid; for most other things, the default is a list.

your screen.

Almost anything you do to an image in GIMP can be undone. You can undo the most recent action by choosing Edit → Undo
