Re: [GNC] New Version 3.5
I forgot to add that there has been previous messages on this subject from GTI. The subject was ' [GNC] Change text color'. GTI provided instructions on how to correct the issue and an example file gtk-3.0.css. I have used both the instructions and his file in my set up. I would suggest that you change only ONE thing at a time and watch out for your syntax errors.

Re: [GNC] New Version 3.5
My eyes are old too. There is a solution however and I wish that just once a new version would do this and cause the formatting to change. . Use the following URL and follow the instructions https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Manual_Styling_using_CSS_file. I added this to the file and then saved the gtk-3.0.css file /* Font Size in Documents */ * { font: 10pt arial, sans-serif; } pandem -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Change text color
GTI, Maybe Geert does know ;-) if gnucash use the gtk defaults then maybe it does not exist or need to. This is not really not a problem if I can modify the bits that concern me. I don't need to know what I don't need to know. My main interest in modifying the layout and colors in gnucash 3.3 is mainly the colour and size of the tabs. My eye sight is not the best and I struggle with gray on dark gray and then whats seems to be even gray color in the font. The colour of the font has been fixed but the width of each tab is just too wide. In the previous versions I had many more tabs across my display now I seem to be restricted to many less. I have figured out how to reduce the 'selected bar' under each tab thanks to your .css file. (This is the notebook tab { padding-left padding-right} ) My main problem now is there is a gap between each tab that is not necessary. So how to remove this gap between the tabs? pandem -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Change text color
After writing my last reply I was wondering is there a file in the source that has a list of the default colors and widths and heights of tabs etc. I'm not a programmer however I have tried to search the source lists for some that may give me the default parameters but I cannot find them. Can someone point me to a file or similar that contains the defaults please pandem. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Change text color
Thanks GTI, Your contribution and the added information from Geert have been very helpful. One of the reasons to ask my initial questions were that in a long thread the readers who come late can and do miss important things on the. What I want you to do was to provide a summary of what you have found. You have done that so thanks again. In my experimentation with .CSS I have found out how to get gnucash almost back to what I personal prefer and that is the colours and layout of gnucash 3.2. I just don't like the layout and colors in 3.2. One final reason was a little bit of frustration and just being dumb on my behalf. It seems I had two session of notepad++ editing the same .CSS file and I was going nowhere real fast. Your answers made me look again so thanks. pandem -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Change text color
Thank you for your work on this subject I have found it interesting but very helpful however I have a couple of question in regards the basic configuration. There are lots or comments in the thread in regards to what may or may not be required so I would like to clarify what is needed or not. By the way I'm running gnucash 3.3 on win10 and some times I get inconsistent results. So I would like to start again at the required base but the thread does not give me base point that I can see. For the required configuration to function correctly what should follow parameters be set to: In the settings.ini [Settings] gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=false Should this be true of false? I have read the thread that this file is not required, so is the file required or not? in gnucash Edit > Preferences > Register Use Gnucash built-in color theme enable or disabled (tick or unticked)? Thanks in advance.
