Hello, I am hoping to clean up the FAQ section on customizing GC’s appearance, but I need a little background information first. My hope is to gather appearance customization into two separate pages. The first has already been created for GTK3 (which is appropriately named “GTK3”). I would

2019-01-21 Thread David T. via gnucash-devel

Um, I wouldn't see putting this as a direct link of the top page of the wiki. It's a rather specific use case. Without digging into the wiki, I'd see it more as something from the Using Gnucash page, or the FAQ. On Sat, Dec 15, 2018 at 13:06, Geert Janssens wrote: Op zaterdag 15
