I am using GIMP 2.6.12 on Ubuntu 12.04.

I would like to hide the rulers, the status bar and the scrollbars but they keep reappearing after restarting GIMP. How do I make them disappear forever?

I have also disabled the menubar and that stays hidden, just as I want it. Why are those others misbehaving?

You would need to change the settings through Preferences Window instead of View Menu. Changes made through View Menu are not persistent, they get overwritten when you restart GIMP.

  • Open the Preferences Window by navigating through Edit Menu → Preferences.
  • Then in the sidebar navigate through Image Windows → Appearance.
  • Here, tick/untick the appropriate check-boxes as per your preference.

GIMP Preference Window

  • thanks, but how come, that the menubar-hiding was persistent, even though (I think) I changed it through the view menu (? bug) – nlognfan Feb 25 '13 at 14:44
  • @nlognfan: Maybe.. not too sure about it.. Don't use GIMP too much.. :-) – Aditya Feb 25 '13 at 14:45

    For me, hiding the Menubar through View Menu is not persistent, you must have changed it through preference window instead :-) – Aditya Feb 25 '13 at 14:58
