Hi David,
I know that the column widths can be set and saved for individual
registers. But my question is about the Register Default Style, not the
column widths. Is there a way to set and save the STYLE setting for
individual account registers?

Yes, but not for for all accounts of a particular account type vs
other account types. Each individual register can be set with
particular column widths and left open while shutting down GnuCash to
memorize the column sizes for that individual account register. This
information is saved individually for each particular data file name
in a file named [datafilename]dot gcm.
Once saved, the settings for that account register become persistent
for following use even if the register is closed before closing GnuCash.

Hi all,
First up, my apologies here for asking a minor nit-picky kind of
question. But here goes. I know that GnuCash lets you go and edit
Preferences to set a Register Default Style to one of three -- Basic
Ledger, Auto-Split Ledger, or Transaction Journal. And once you set
that it becomes the default for ALL registers. And for my EXPENSE
registers (food, clothing, etc. where I have lots of splits) I
default
to the Transaction Journal style. But ...
... for my LIABILTY registers (mainly credit cards) it's much
easier to
reconcile those accounts when they're viewed as Basic Ledgers. And I
know how to go into each register and select View -> Basic Ledger.
Pretty easy and straightforward. But ...
... (here's the nit-picky part) every time I open one of those
Liability
registers, I have to do those two extra mouse clicks to set the
register
view back to Basic Ledger. Yes, it's only two extra mouse
clicks. But
each and every time? It's annoying.
So, here's the question. Is there any way to override the GnuCash
Register Default Style either for ALL LIABILITY registers, or
possibly
for EACH register individually?
What I'd like is for my EXPENSE registers to default to Transaction
Journal, and my LIABILTY registers to default to Basic Ledger. If
there's some hidden setting or preference that I just haven't
found yet,
I'd really appreciate any help locating it.
Thanks,
Tom
