I poked around with the inspector quite a bit when GnuCash moved to GTK3, and as far as I can tell, the content of the Account Page (save the header bar) is not exposed to styling, sorry. (that is, the entire account table 'tree' is one CSS node and the individual items, rows, and columns are not accessible to CSS)

You could employ a very ugly workaround though:

Set every other account to have the background color you want, then turn on: Preferences > Accounts > Account Color > Show the Account Color as background.

The downside is you'd need to do this for every other account manually, and then when you collapse parts of the tree, your striping will break. (and then you can't use other custom colors) You could maybe just set the parent accounts to have a background color, so that when everything is expanded, there is some visual separation.

*note, I've found the page easier to read and see the hierarchy when I turned *off*: Preferences > General > General > Enable vertical grid lines on table displays.

Hi all,

I'm using GNUCash 4.4 on Windows 10, and I'm trying to customize the
appearance of the Account page using the CSS file:

%APPDATA%\GnuCash\gtk-3.0.css

I can't figure out how to modify alternating rows (background color)
or individual columns (e.g. the "Account Name" column) on the Account
page because I don't know the CSS selector for those items.

I've used the GTK Inspector to identify other elements. But I can't
figure out the CSS path for these two items. I've tried the following,
in case the tree in the Account page behaved like an HTML table, but
neither worked:

#gnc-id-account-tree tr:nth-child(even) {
     background-color: #888;
}
#gnc-id-account-tree td:nth-child(1) {
     background-color: #888;
}

More info, including a screenshot for reference, can be found here:
https://superuser.com/questions/1627977/what-are-the-css-selectors-for-alternating-rows-and-specific-columns-in-gnucash

Would appreciate any help figuring out which CSS selectors to use, or
just letting me know if it's impossible to do. Thanks.
