Thanks everyone for the tips. On a whim, I searched the Internet on this problem, the Brave AI search, and I think I found a simple answer. I had saved instructions on how to adjust the columns (see below). The AI results said to close GnuCash using the Quit command at the bottom of the file menu to leave the program and the adjustments would lock in. I had never closed the program that way, only used x in the upper righthand corner. That seemed to work and on every register I have opened so far. I thought I might have trouble after shutting down and restarting the computer but no. Everything seems to be working great and I solved my vision problem. The registers and reports as well as the tool bar and menus are much more clear at Ariel 14 point/18px font.
Roger p.s. Adjusting column widths in the register Start on the far right, balance, column Double click on the column header. It will adjust the width so you can see the contents Move left double clicking on each column in turn to adjust the width When you double click on the transfer column (the other account to debit or credit to balance the transaction), the far right columns disappear. Don't panic. Double click on the description column, which is way too wide anyway, and the far right columns will reappear You have to adjust the other columns manually until the scroll bar appears at the bottom of the page, then you can adjust the description column. Another trick is to adjust the 5 columns on the right as above, then grab the column marker at the top of the transfer column and drag it to the left. All the columns to the right go with the transfer column adjusting the size of the description column. If the date column is too small, grab the line at the top of the right side of the date column/left side of the number column and drag it to fit. The transfer column will adjust without affecting the columns on the far right. Close the program using the Quit command on the File menu and the changes should be permanent. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
