I don't run Gnucash in full size window either, but the Inspector apparently thought I should...or something I hit in my debugging play triggered the full-screen in the horizontal direction. The things I'd most like to change on the register header: * Make the text-align on the columns "center".

I haven’t noticed any window size change with the inspector, but I don’t open GnuCash full-width or full-screen anyway. That is odd behavior, but maybe it is to accommodate the inspector window. You can target nodes, but without an id or the element having a name, you can’t target

Yeah, I thought about building the app myself, but it would be a huge undertaking to figure out where to set things up, i.e. where are the gui elements built and assembled? Plus, next time there's an update to a new version, I'd have to do all the hacking I did all over again in order to upgrade.

Thanks for sharing the file, and glad to see you were able to get themes working. As noted previously in this thread, the way to find out what can be styled is to use the GTK Inspector. For MacOS you have to install GTK separately. I did so using Homebrew. You then have to start GnuCash with

I tested the theme I wanted to use by copying all the GTK3 related files from the theme into the Gnucash config directory (~\Appplication Support\Gnucash\config\gtk-3.0 on MacOS). It worked fine, but as expressed elsewhere, the Register Header formatting was immune to all but the background color

A transaction isn’t limited to only two splits, so there is no need to do ‘2 things’ each time. You can just make one transaction. With auto-fill or Duplicate Transaction you’re just going to be adjusting dates, check #s and maybe amounts. (and any notes/memos like “February Donation” or

Thank you for your response. The mechanics was what I was trying to wrap my head around. Because, yes, for tax purposes I want to show that I'm paying a charity expense. But I also didn't want to have to do two things every time I wrote a check but I couldn't see any way around it. I guess

To answer the first part, no, you cannot style the header bar as far as I can tell. You can affect register transactions with fonts and colors only as noted in the wiki and the sample css files. But I don’t see any id’s or classes exposed in the inspector to target the header by itself. (there

Ken Not sure whether what you want to do is possible or not. Since you are on V3.8 the GTKInspector (https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GTK/Inspector?action=show=Projects%2FGTK%2B%2FInspector) should work. That should let you know whether the features you want to alter can de addressed

Hello. I've been whacking away at a bit of GTK3 css formatting to make things a bit more stylish for me. Gnucash 3.8, MacOS 10.12.6 The question I have is: Can I do any formatting or other modifications to the header bar entries in the register? I'd like to be able to do the following items: (1)
