While it looks very powerful, does anyone know if the miserable light gray on medium gray UI can be changed? I despise this modern trend (Pixelmator drives me nuts too) as I have difficulty reading text with such low contrast. This is terribly unfriendly to people with vision difficulties.

Yeah, Krita has themes/skins, here is a few: http://www.davidrevoy.com/article124/themes-for-krita-and-kd... The top one seems darker. Otherwise you can always edit the `.colors` file of your choosing to be even darker.

I believe the neutral grey helps to shift the focus away from the UI to your art piece.

As a first comment on full version bump of a truly astounding application with a clear and accessible Themes in its top-level menu, this is perhaps a tad lacking in positivity.

I wonder why my Krita in Windows (3.0 - 3.4, also 4.0) has some lag (around 100ms or so) when switching presets. During that, I can't even move the cursor, which is quite annoying since I use switch presets shortcut very often.

I've got no problem whatsoever on Ubuntu though, aside from some random crashes when doing free transform.

That being said, Krita is still my main tool for painting/drawing and some picture editing. The interface is IMHO very intuitive (or maybe just more Photoshop-like) which is nice

The dark theme has nice contrast, been using that since it first came
