GimpShop different to Gimp?

After 3 attempts at downloading GimpShop I succeeded to install it. But I was disappointed. My expectations were to see a PhotoShop-like program but it looks just like the ordinary Gimp program.

Can anyone tell me what is supposed to be different about GimpShop?

Thanks, Steve

Off the top of my head: icons, menu items' names, some keyboard shortcuts.

We also wouldn't recommend downloading more recent GimpShop for security reasons.

One of the suggestions we had at that time was whether this could be done via translations and a customized shortcuts file. But this either didn't work, or was not followed up by the original author, I don't recall.

And there was something similar to Single Window Mode, via a plug-in that added a window to capture all the GIMP windows - only for the Windows platforms, IIRC.

"I originally created Gimpshop, but I'm not the jerk who owns that domain and added adware & spyware to the source. Sorry about that. I hate that this guy is out there making my fun little project into an abomination. ---
I don't have a project site for it. I became discouraged after this whole ordeal and I let it slip away into obscurity. …. Gimpshop was a fun little 'prank' that got bigger than I ever expected. Sad what it has become, though."

Michael
