Hello, I thought I’d follow up on a thread I started a little ways back about difficulties moving GnuCash from a Mac to Windows. As may be recalled, I was a little flummoxed by which files would need to be brought from the Mac to the Windows machine. Thanks to others here, I was able to get everything (mostly) working smoothly.
Unfortunately, I have found that the use of account colors is radically different in Windows than in macOS. Specifically, under Windows, only a very limited set of screen objects appear to respond to account color settings. To be clear, by “account color settings”, I mean the color choice a user can make from the account setting window. On the Mac, setting an account color changes the color for the entire row of an account in the Chart of Accounts (COA). On Windows, it only affects one specific column—the “Account Color” column. All other columns remain the default. Additionally, on a Mac, if an account is opened for viewing, the corresponding tab takes the color assigned to it. On Windows, nope. It would seem that the Windows implementation is broken with regard to this feature, sadly.
