It’s Called Fog Panther. Flathub: FogPanther Claims to be written in GTK4. Looks like a modified GIMP. Made by a business consulting firm, looks sketchy to me.

19 daysI think OP is referring to Fog Panther, I just saw this yesterday in Flathub: https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/com.fogpanther.FogPanther. It definitely appears to be some jackass selling a blatant GIMP clone.

Honestly? I would probably pay for a GIMP clone that has a photoshop-like UI and can be installed via flatpak. $70 is a little high but if it was $20 and received regular updates?

Yes. The only thing stopping me using GIMP is the UI. I’d pay for GIMP with a better UI straight away.

AFAIK GIMP only gained GTK 3 support on Nov 2024 and they’re still working on GTK 4.
If this is really GTK 4, they might have forked from GIMP for a while now.
There’s chances this really is a brand new UI on top of GIMP as opposed to just being a layout change and rename, but I guess someone would have to poke at it further to confirm. the “art” looks very ai as well and given it’s only a single layer it certainly is not made in this software or by the person making this software

The program Fog Panther (if this it the program the OP is referring to) was already rejected for using (entirely?) Ai: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/8077 . 3 weeks ago they closed it with conclusion:
Sorry we don’t review AI Slop.

Also adding the fact the image is a typical Ai generated size of max 1024 x 1024 (slightly lower on one side, probably watermark removed) and the randomized image names indicate a web download. Very Amogus.
Looks very sketchy but I’m not to sure if it really is GIMP. It’s code is old and complex changing it to look like in the screenshot would be a big project on itself.

Gimp is a rasterized editor and inkscape is a vector editor. Both have limited functionality within the other category of graphics if I’m not mistaken but theyre not the same kind of tool

While the styling looks vaguely similar to inkscape none of the toolbars or anything have the correct tool contents to be inkscape
Yeah you are definitely correct. The panels and layout look very similar but the tools not so much.
