Oops, I'm sorry about how I replied Adrien! You are right that all I needed to do was check the color boxes under Preferences, Accounts.

Re: [GNC] Copying settings, layout, and colors to another computer
You should have copied: ~/your_data_files ~/.local/share/gnucash ~/.local/share/gtk-3.0 ~/.config/gnucash ~/.config/gtk-3.0 If that 2nd directory did not exist, then your GTK3 installation probably hadn’t a need to create it yet. Your custom CSS file (if you made one) should reside in the 4th location above. If you were concerned with *cleaning* your installation as I noted in an earlier reply, then I would have left this one out anyway. As for account colors, I’m not sure on that one. Those should be stored with the book itself. Did you double check all of your preference settings and do they match on both machines? Perhaps one machine has the custom account colors preference turned off. (that should have migrated properly though, odd only one preference is different) Finally, when replying to a digest message, *please* strip out the parts of the digest that aren’t relevant to your topic. I just had to delete about 6 feet of text before sending this. Regards, Adrien > On Jan 18, 2019, at 11:25 AM, Tim Kallmer wrote: > > Thanks everyone.

Re: [GNC] Copying settings, layout, and colors to another computer
I’ve encountered this use case before, though it was always on OS upgrades or transitions when distro hopping. I have sometimes wanted to migrate my data and my desired configs without carrying over configs from no longer used apps, thus trimming cruft for a *fresh* start. It might also be a case of two different users on two different machines, but wanting the config to be the same. They may or may not edit the same data file.

Re: [GNC] Copying settings, layout, and colors to another computer
Check the FAQ on the wiki concerning file locations. Each OS is different and there are specific paths for the various configs, reports, et cetera for linux listed there.
