Yes, sorry. I guess in my editing of that reply, I accidentally chopped that 
part off. Certainly, the FAQ should link to this page.

How does “Customize the GnuCash Theme” or “Customize the GnuCash Visual Style” 
sound?

I prefer the first one, and probably anyone even asking this question has some 
concept of system theming and so would be more likely to use that terminology.

IMHO we should move most content from the FAQ to structured pages of the
respective themes (and after some breeding into the official doc
package). So the FAQ would become primary a link collection.

IMHO a page name should be (for easy linking) short, but precise.
Because there was already a GTK page, now moved to GTK2, the name is fine.

There are other technics e.g. for keywords use categories, the FAQ and
the search function.

At some places we might consider to insert overview pages, e.g. create
them from the sections of the (now IMHO too long) main page.

I'm fine with moving the FAQ material here, but I would prefer to keep a link 
from the faq to this page so users can be redirected.

I would also propose a less technical name for the wiki page. Most users don't 
know what gtk is so the wouldn't guess that page would hold information on 
tweaking the gnucash gui style/theme.

So the page title should rather refer to such keywords: style, theme, tweak, 
customize,... I'm not very creative in finding good titles right now, so feel 
free to suggest some for public deliberation.
