The contents of the tracefile would indeed be helpful to diagnose whether this is a gsettings migration related bug or something else. A few bugs in that area have been fixed, but perhaps there are more or we look at a regression.

Re: [GNC] gnucash 5.0 register color settings don't save
I meant to say you have to search within the dconf-editor. So install it first. Assuming Mint uses the same command as Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install dconf-editor The run dconf-editor and search for alternate in there to find the alternate-color-by-transaction setting.

Re: [GNC] gnucash 5.0 register color settings don't save
From the wiki https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations I get this information: Most of what is found under Edit->Preferences and a few extra ones are stored in [GSettings] . GSettings itself doesn't have a particular location to store this information in. Instead it relies on "backends" to do this on its behalf. Which backend is used depends on the platform: Linux - pristine: dconf - there's no file location associated with this, data can be viewed or edited with dconf-editor. For advanced options see dconf help. So it looks like you have to look why dconf isn't saving and returning the correct settings? In my case, I installed dconf-editor (it wasn't installed by default) and then after running it, I did a search on "alternate". It returns the setting in 2 locations. Only the second one is correct for version 5.0, the first one was for older versions prior to 4.? -- you can see the path is different. So check on your end as well what dconf is storing. org.gnucash.general.register alternate-color-by-transaction false org.gnucash.GnuCash.general.register alternate-color-by-transaction true On Mon, Apr 3, 2023 at 12:46 PM Adrien Monteleone < adrien.montele...@lusfiber.net> wrote: > Are other preferences saved? > > I think there was a bug a while back about this being an issue in some > cases on Linux.

Re: [GNC] gnucash 5.0 register color settings don't save
Are other preferences saved? I think there was a bug a while back about this being an issue in some cases on Linux. It had to do with Gsettings and file locations, but I don't remember the specifics unfortunately.

Re: [GNC] gnucash 5.0 register color settings don't save
John, are you referring to the "double mode colors alternate with transactions" option under Edit-Preferences-Register? If so then it works fine on my version 5.0 compiled on Lubuntu 22.04. For me, there is a "Close" button on the dialog at the bottom right that saves the changes, same as in version 4.13. See attached screenshot.
