Sorry I've never updated any of the stylesheets, but I notice that Gnucash will automatically re-create the stylesheets-2.0 file if it's missing. I would have thought that if you didn't have GnuCash open and copied it to the correct location then opened GnuCash it would read it and use it - that's what my searching tells me ? I did a google search which suggested that you might not see a new style sheet unless you had used it in a report - I assume they meant in the StyleSheet editor but it wasn't clear to me.
