I apologize if my formatting is not appropriate to the list as I can't find anything about how to format posts to the list. My problem right now is that I downloaded GnuCash 4.9 and I can't read anything in the software as it is not honoring/inheriting/adopting Windows 10 High Contrast Dark

Yes, I should be clear that I don't really see a problem with GnuCash, rather the "problem" is in understanding how to handle these things. I wonder if maybe the wiki should mention it since I think anyone who is used to tracking investments in personal finance software like Quicken or Money or

Ahh, interesting. I like that idea. I was not aware of contra accounts. Thanks. On Mon, Dec 20, 2021 at 8:00 PM Chris Grinton wrote: > You could consider using a contra expense account to reverse the effect of > the expense and apply it to the cost base of the asset purchase? Then you > can

In short, as long as I exit and reopen the application after each month's reconciliation, I should have a complete set of backups and be able to go back a month at a time. Evidently, that did not occur to me, but the number of transactions is low, so it should be easy to export as a csv and

Hi Tim, It's by luck (and some randomness in order of processing files) that this build works. The contents of the schemas directory has both the obsolete and the new schema files. To prevent this issue from happening again in the future, you should remove all files that start with

David, You are right. I now know it was not related to switching from .bz2 to .gz formats. I tried the same procedure on my laptop GC (also 4.6), using the .gz for 4.9 initially, and had the same "fresh-start" behavior and GC not saving my preferences or working file. Once I reverted to 4.6 and

Thanks for the feedback. This is obviously concerning, but a solution may have been offered. I have been using an older version of gnucash (3.8) because it is what my update manager in mint provides. I am now going to switch to the latest version, and try to fix this. It was only two months ago,

Hi David and Tim, I don't think the compression format of the source files matters. Instead my guess is for the second build the installation directory got cleaned out or some similar action. That would solve the conflicting GSettings keys. Running make/ninja uninstall from the 4.6 build
