OK, I have been tapping away with the following progress... I downgraded a clone VM to Gtk+3.10.8 which successfully builds and runs but I seem to of lost some stock images, not an issue as I can temporary replace them but I can use it to make sure I have not included any newer functions.
In the original VM I have built and made some changes which can be seen at My GitHub <https://github.com/Bob-IT/gnucash/tree/gtk3> I have hopefully done the following but as normal there may be some tweaks... Replaced RC file with CSS file, name may need changing The dense calendar now renders with a white background but can be set with CSS Changed the way tabs are done and now display correctly and fixed the width updates Changed most widgets that had a horizontal / vertical function to the new equivalents. These were simple function swaps I had in existing patch file. I was going to look at the account edit dialogue but wanted to ask how much do you want the glade files changed ? Change the version and replace deprecated widgets ? There are some further deprecated widgets that I will change if able to as I come across them.
