Take a look at our [porting guide](GIMP3-plug-in-porting-guide/README.md).
## Custom data
This section list all types of data usable to enhance GIMP
functionalities. If you are interested to contribute default data to
GIMP, be aware that we are looking for a very good base set, not an
unfinite number of data for all possible usage (even the less common
ones).
Furthermore we only accept data on Libre licenses:
* [Free Art License](https://artlibre.org/licence/lal/en/)
* [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/)
* [CC BY](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
* [CC BY-SA](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)
Of course you are free to share data usable by GIMP on any license you
want on your own. Providing them as third-party GIMP
[extensions](#gimp-extensions-gex) is probably the best idea.
### Brushes
GIMP currently supports the following brush formats:
* GIMP Brush (GBR): format to store pixmap brushes
* GIMP Brush Pipe (GIH): format to store a series of pixmap brushes
* GIMP Generated Brush (VBR): format of "generated" brushes
* GIMP Brush Pixmap (GPB): *OBSOLETE* format to store pixel brushes
* MyPaint brushes v1 (MYB)
* Photoshop ABR Brush
* Paint Shop Pro JBR Brush
We do fully support the GIMP formats obviously, as well as MyPaint
brushes, since we use the official `libmypaint` library. We are not sure
how well we support other third-party formats, especially if they had
recent versions.
If you are interested in brushes from a developer perspective, you are
welcome to read specifications of GIMP formats:
[GBR](https://developer.gimp.org/core/standards/gbr/), [GIH](https://developer.gimp.org/core/standards/gih/),
[VBR](https://developer.gimp.org/core/standards/vbr/) or the obsolete [GPB](https://developer.gimp.org/core/standards/gpb/).
If you want to contribute brushes to the official GIMP, be aware we
would only accept brushes in non-obsolete GIMP formats. All these
formats can be generated by GIMP itself from images.
If you want to contribute MyPaint brushes, we recommend to propose them
to the [MyPaint-brushes](https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint-brushes/)
data project, which is also used by GIMP for its default MyPaint brush
set.
Otherwise, you are welcome to provide brush set in any format as
third-party [extensions](#gimp-extensions-gex).
### Dynamics
GIMP supports the GIMP Paint Dynamics format which can be generated from
within GIMP.
### Patterns
GIMP supports the GIMP Pattern format (PAT, whose
[specification](https://developer.gimp.org/core/standards/pat/) is available for developers).
This format can be exported by GIMP itself.
Alternatively GIMP supports patterns from `GdkPixbuf` (**TODO**: get more
information?).
### Palettes
GIMP supports the GIMP Palette format which can be generated from within
GIMP.
### Gradients
GIMP supports the GIMP Gradient format (GGR, whose
[specification](https://developer.gimp.org/core/standards/ggr/) is available for developers)
which can be generated from within GIMP.
Alternatively GIMP supports the SVG Gradient format.
### Themes
GTK3 uses CSS themes. Don't be fooled though. It's not real CSS in that

of a same theme by going to "Visual" tab and switching the "Dark
Variant" button ON or OFF.
### Icon themes
Icon sets (a.k.a. "icon themes") have been separated from themes since
GIMP 2.10 so you can have any icon theme with any theme.
To know about icons, go to [gimp-data/icons](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp-data/-/blob/main/icons/README.md?ref_type=heads).
