Re: [GNC] 3.7 Accounts open bar
There was a thread dealing specifically with targeting these tabs within the
last 3 months.
Check the list archives for something that looks relevant, specifically a
thread that I participated in as I posted how to target only the notebook tabs.
Sorry I don’t recall the exact thread, or CSS rule off-hand.
Regards,
Adrien

The "someone" in that sentence is the upstream gtk project. We depend on
their code to create the graphical user interface for gnucash. When Gtk
switched from version 2 to 3, they redesigned all of the user interface
elements the gtk library provides. In many cases the new elements take up
more space as you noted.
As to what can be done about it: you can tweak the style sheet used by
gnucash to render the user interface elements on screen. Starting points
for this can be found here:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Visual_Styling
Thanks Geert,
I'm both super happy that I can do something about it, and also sad to find
out that all those threads that ended in "fix the CSS" apply to me. I was
hoping it wouldn't be the case but kind of expecting it. I will report back
with results.
I do sympathize.
Unfortunately the GnuCash development team is too small to maintain its own
custom css style to adjust for the design choices made by the Gtk developers.
We used to have a theme selector for 2.6, but that was no longer supported
either after Gtk switched to version 3.
If you happen to be on linux (you didn't mention your platform) you could try
to use the gnome tweak tool to install a different gtk3 theme. You can
download plenty from https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/cat/135/order/latest/
I don't know of a similar tool for the other platforms but it should be
possible to install a different Gtk theme on these platforms as well, albeit
manually. If you find a nice predefined gtk theme that uses layout choices
that better fit your requirements you could try that route rather than
tweaking css directly.
Hi Geert,
I have managed to make a start on what I would like..
tab * {
font: 9px arial, sans-serief;
}
in .config/gnucash/gtk-3.0.css changes the font size in the
tabs, but it is in every tab including the setting tabs. I can't work
out how to make it just to apply to the notebook gtk section. Also the
padding on the tabs could definitely be optimised as well to fit more

translate that to into css. It is not very intuitive! All the examples

Re: [GNC] 3.7 Accounts open bar
Another option if it works for your screen is to switch the tabs to vertically instead of horizontally. I’ve found I can fit more tabs that way, and they are always readable. (at least with enough text for me to tell some similar ones apart) Regards, Adrien > On Dec 3, 2019 w49d337, at 6:08 AM, elvis wrote: > > > On 3/12/19 8:58 pm, Geert Janssens wrote: >>> In 2.6.12 I have 12 accounts open with space for 3 or 4 more.

[GNC] 3.7 Accounts open bar
Hi, I am trying out moving to 3.7 from the 2.6 series. Looks good so far, I can't tell the difference, which to me is a good thing, One thing though - the list of open accounts across the top of the screen. Notebook tabs I think they are called. In 2.6.12 I have 12 accounts open with space for 3 or 4 more. They all have close buttons on them, and every bit of text is readable. In 3.7 I have 12 accounts open, but to fit them on the screen I have had to change preferences --> windows to width 7. Which makes the account names unreadable. And there is no more space to open other accounts. is there a way to bring back the old behaviour? It looks like someone has tried to pretty things up, but it has made it unusable.
