Hi Adrien, I realize that 2.4.13, was extremely old, but it completely
worked for me. Whenever I upgraded, I always had a new set of issues, I
really didn't have time to deal with. 2.4.13 started acting a little
flaky with Windows 10, so I thought it may be time to install 5.3. When
I installed 5.3 on my machine, I first completely deleted 2.4.13 ,
including the configuration and report files. I then snooped all over
the computer and deleted anything pertaining to GNUcash. I then ran
CCleaner and Privazer and deleted any residual registry entries. I then
rebooted and did a fresh new install of GNUcash 5.3. Everything worked
great. I was first impressed by the Account Reconciliation report,
which 2.4.13 lacked.
I'm familiar with the style sheets and created custom ones for our
purposes. I'll have to check the fonts, as you stated.
I suppose I should have said, "Can only display 4 account register
tabs on the screen, besides the Accounts tab." Normally, the register
tabs "shrink" to allow more account registers to be displayed, but his
doesn't. Could that be in Edit/Preferences/Windows?

Greg, 2.4.x was a very old release. Did you properly go through the
version by version upgrade on both machines, or did you just jump from
2.4.13 to 5.3?
And what do you mean exactly by 'display accounts on the page'? Can he
not open more than 4 register tabs? (so 5 tabs total including the
ever-present 'Accounts' tab) Maybe a screenshot here will help
clarify. Obfuscate any sensitive numbers/info of course.
As for the negative numbers issue:
That preference is for the Accounts Tab & various Register Tabs.
Reports have their own separate display controls via Style Sheets.
Unless otherwise specified, all reports use the 'Default' style sheet.
You can set a custom style sheet via Options, or else edit the default
style sheet via Edit > Style Sheets.
From there, select 'Default' and click the Edit button. You'll see on
the Fonts tab an option for 'Negative numbers in red' that you can
un-select.
Click 'Apply', Then reload the report. Future reports should behave
accordingly.
Regards,
Adrien

Hi, several weeks ago, I installed GNUcash vs 5.3. I had been using
vs 2.4.13. I used to be the financial accountant at our church for 20
years until my disability forced me to retire. The man that took
over uses 2.4.13, however installed 5.3 on one of his Windows 10
laptops, but he is having issues, where I am not.
The issue he is having, is that he can not display more than 4
accounts at one time on the page. I have no problems displaying even
7 accounts. After displaying more than 4 accounts, they just
horizontally shrink to accommodate more accounts on my Windows 10
laptop. His does not. He can only display 4 accounts. Is there a
setting to change that will allow him to display more than 4 accounts?
The issue I am having: Despite changing the option not to display
negative numbers is red in the preferences, negative numbers still
show up in red in reports.
