Well, Tom, it's certainly an interesting discussion in general. :) I'd like to make two points: - You keep referring to Windows and I'm not sure why. At the moment I'm using GnuCash on both Windows and Linux and can't say that there is much difference if we talk about changing visual appearance.

You're right Geert, this class of application rarely has theming capabilities, but it was a very nice feature of GnuCash and it at least had the capability of dressing up an otherwise rather utilitarian interface. Personally, if you would just go in and adjust the tool-tips to be something other

I think trying to make al the Windows users into programmers just so they can get a theme they like - something they always had in 2.x - is a crying shame. I've said it before, but I guess I'll say it again, I realize this application is developed primarily on Linux. That's completely awesome,

Perhaps Geert's were not clear enough. The theming in GnuCash relies (more or less) completely on GTK framework. This framework, in version 3, has moved completely to open standards (read CSS) for styling, allowing many more people to customize the visual appearance of GTK applications. Also, if

I would have to agree. Leaving all the Windows users to deal with a single, not very appealing interface scheme is tragic. It almost makes me want to go back to 2.x until this situation has been dealt with. 2.x was very stable and I had been able to find a theme I liked. For the sake of those

[GNC] Where is the theme selection in 3.x?

2018-06-06 Thread Thomas Forrester
On Windows, as I recall, there was a seperate program in the Start menu under GnuCash for previewing and selecting a visual theme to use with GnuCash. I don't see that, and the 3.x visual styles on Windows is not all that attractive. Was this feature removed? If so, why?? Thank you.
