The default theme has been carefully designed to limit certain optical illusions that affect how brightness, contrast and saturation are perceived. Changing to a darker theme, in particular, can lead to images that are too dark or over-saturated. This is explained in detail in the manual [here](https://docs.darktable.org/usermanual/stable/en/module-reference/utility-modules/darkroom/color-assessment/), [here](https://docs.darktable.org/usermanual/stable/en/preferences-settings/general/) and [here](https://docs.darktable.org/usermanual/stable/en/overview/workflow/process/#edit-in-a-controlled-environment).

Use your file manager (or the command line). Image renaming is not a feature we are developing for darktable. Make sure to first remove the files from darktable's library, then rename them (and the associated XMP sidecar files) and re-import them afterwards.

You may have applied a filter, such as showing only certain star ratings. In either the [collection filters module](https://docs.darktable.org/usermanual/stable/en/module-reference/utility-modules/shared/collection-filters/) or [top panel](https://docs.darktable.org/usermanual/stable/en/overview/user-interface/top-panel/), make sure module order is set to "all images" and that all possible star ratings and no color labels have been selected. You may also want to check the *initial rating* parameter in the import module.

This isn't really an error, but a warning that you're doing something that you probably shouldn't be doing. Normally you should set the correct white balance in Color Calibration and leave the White Balance module at its default setting.

You don't have to. Everything you do is immediately saved. You can just quit darktable and go on editing later. Once you are done you have to _export_ your final image using the export module.

Note that it was written for darktable 3.0, so some of the specific recommendations for which modules to use are no longer relevant.
