In Windows, the choice of AppData\Local vs AppData\Roaming is system-wide
and dependant upon the type of logon the user performed. A login to the
local machine account uses AppData\Local, while a domain login uses
AppData\Roaming.

There are numerous bits in Windows that deal with giving domain users
consistent settings and data when logging into a domain from a different
workstation (check out User Folder Redirection and Local / Roaming /
Mandatory / Temporary profiles). Somewhat deprecated, complex, poorly
understood, and frequently problematic, but it's still present.

Well I'm getting closer, just need to find more documentation.

For example, when the window loses focus, the text all changes to a very
light gray which washes out but I can't seem to find anything that would
instruct gtk not to do that.

There seems to be some differences in the wiki documentation covering
configuration in a Windows environment.  The file locations described don't
quite match where the actual files are located (for example many files are
actually located in APPDATA/Roaming rather than APPDATA/Local)

This affects things like how to install a full theme or even editing some of
the CSS.  I got the gtk-3.0.css file working but that's actually in
Roaming\Gnucash despite the wiki saying it should be in Local\gtk-3.0.

The colors in the register may be special, however, and not as readily
changed (but I could be wrong). Others have documented these settings on the
lists and in the wiki. Searches in the list archives and on the wiki should
help you.
