Turns out the live environment doesn't use Mint-Y-Dark for the controls by default. It just uses Mint-Y which is a light theme. After installing Mint and setting the theme to Mint-Y-Dark, GnuCash used that theme as expected. Switching just the Theme > Controls to something light like Mint-Y,

Re: [GNC] help increasing size of font in GnuCash?

I can confirm this. I fired up Mint 20 Cinnamon in Vbox and installed GnuCash 3.8 from the Mint repos. Generally, GnuCash should use the default GTK theme, which on Mint 20 is Mint-Y-Dark. *note, the proper file name is `settings.ini` *not* `setup.ini` Per the wiki I created:

If you read the wiki carefully you'll realize that configuration files are looked for in USER_CONFIG_HOME, not USER_DATA_HOME. On Linux and macOS Gtk (and most other modern Linux desktop programs) use the XDG spec (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)

Re: [GNC] help increasing size of font in GnuCash?

Yes, I have discovered that. I’m very pleased that D. found the reference before I had to go hunting for it again. The wiki is clearly wrong (and it is the Gnucash wiki). If that location applies to all GTK apps, I would assume that, in the absence of Gnucash-specific override, it will work

Re: [GNC] help increasing size of font in GnuCash?

Peter, If you read the Wiki carefully, you'll see that the `~/.local/share/gtk-3.0` location is for all GTK apps, not just GnuCash. The GTK theme may conflict and your customization may not override the theme in some cases. (note, the Wiki also notes that `gtk-3.0.css` will override

As I read that note, .local only came into play with GTK3.0 and up. Maybe backward compatibility is supported, or maybe the files were just copied into that location. On my Mac, running Gnucash for about a year now, !/.local/share exists, but only contains files from other applications. > On
