Re: [GNC] Color of register placeholder text and hiding register header
Ok, I got it. To change the transaction entry placeholder text color:
/* transaction entry placeholder text color */
.gnc-class-lighter-grey-mix {
color: steelblue;
}
Thank you Adrien for your knowledge and input as well.
I also dug around in the wiki and found more info in the older gnucash 3
CSS which is still relevant.

Re: [GNC] Color of register placeholder text and hiding register header
Damn, I did have the leading period! Mailman seems to be stripping it out. Apologies. So the class is properly ".register-secondary" for hopefully the final time.

Re: [GNC] Color of register placeholder text and hiding register header
Maybe try:
cursor entry {
color: (whatever you like);
}
The comments at the top of the sample CSS file from the Wiki define
'cursor entry' as an entity/node that affects the active cell. That
declaration should override everything else.
Be sure to test with commenting out or removing your other rules
affecting color for:
gnc-id-cursor entry
*.gnc-class-register-cursor

You can also set:
sheet {
color: (whatever you like);
}
to affect the entire register, regardless of the transaction in focus.
(which is targeted separately with the 'primary' & 'secondary' classes
and the 'cursor entry' entity.
Finally, I'm not sure what GTK allows for color specifications.
I don't see any HSL rules in my file, even though I prefer to use that
method, so it is possible it isn't allowed.
I do have hex, named colors, and rgba. I also have a few 'color: mix
(currentColor, white, 0.2);' and 'color: mix (currentColor, grey, 0.8);'
which create tints and shades of whatever is the 'parent' or 'inherited'
color for blending aesthetics.

1. I tried reordering but it had no effect.
2. Defining a color for 'register_cursor_fg_color' and

3. '@define-color register_cursor_bg_color' is the same as background-color

So there must be a '@define-color xx' which is the same as color for
'*.gnc-class-register-cursor' (which is the placeholder text color). That
class still overrides.
Confusing. I sure couldn't make themes all day.

Cool! Well if I leave the *.gnc-class-register-cursor color undefined then the
placeholder text defaults to the gray/italic setting, which will work fine for
my theme. However it would probably still be good to know how to define both
colors/styles in case someone else wants to do that...
As for the header I'm not sure how you would completely remove that. I'm
assuming that would be in the code and not just CSS.
Yeah I figured as much, but thought I'd check anyway.

Unfortunately not quite. This makes both the placeholder and entered text
purple. In the built-in color theme, the placeholder text is gray and italic,
while entered text black and without effects. Is there a file in the source
code somewhere defining all the built-in color values? The answer might be in
there
/* register header */
*.gnc-class-register-header {
background-color: #a8b8bf;
color: black;
}
You could make the text and background in the header the same color to hide it.
The header would still be there though, covering up entries in the register.
My goal is to get rid of this header altogether so I can see more of the
register...

Not sure either, maybe reverse them in the file? (this is Cascading
Style Sheets after all) It could also be a specificity problem.
I have a rule for:
cursor entry {}
that might work if you target it with a color rule.
But without playing around with it, I'm not sure why I have it. (sadly,
I did not document it)
GnuCash also has some defined color variables you can use. I have
definitions for:
@define-color register_secondary_bg_color #d9d9d9;
@define-color register_cursor_bg_color #fefefe;
I don't know if there is a 'register_cursor_fg_color' or just
'register_cursor_color' but one of those might be worth a shot.
As for the header I'm not sure how you would completely remove that. I'm
assuming that would be in the code and not just CSS.
You probably can't (I didn't try) but I'll hazard something like:
register-header {
display: none;
}
is the first thing to try.
Of course, I'd fire up the Inspector and play with changes live to see
what works, and then copy/paste those rules into my CSS file.

Adrien
