kentsor, A screenshot of what you are seeing might be instructive. If what you are seeing looks like win95, something is wrong. To be sure, v2.x looked really dated, but v3.x fits in much better on MacOS. It still isn’t native, but certainly is not jarring. One could also use some custom CSS

You shouldn't be surprised. It's a lot of work to build a separate GUI for each platform and very few FLOSS projects have the resources for that. GnuCash's GUI is built with the Gtk framework and yes, its X11 heritage shows through quite strongly. If that's a deal breaker for you, too bad.

I downloaded 3.5.1 intel from GNUCash.org. Quartz backend or not, it looks like an X11 application. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your

Where did you download your GnuCash version from ? The one you find on the gnucash webpage is using a Quarz backend on MacOS, not X11. Regards, Geert On maandag 27 mei 2019 18:33:29 CEST kentsor wrote: > Much as I'd like to use a QB alternative, as a Mac user I can not stand > looking at

Much as I'd like to use a QB alternative, as a Mac user I can not stand looking at GNUCash as it is now. The UI is staggeringly bad. The money I save is not worth using this. There must have been attempts by other Mac people to replace the UI in the past. Most likely abandoned years ago so it'd
