The easiest way is to change/lower the resolution on your screen display
(on Windows using Settings/Control Panel, on Mac using System
Settings). This will help not only with GNC, but also all apps on your
computer.

Hi Fred,
You don't say what OS and Gnucash version your wife's friend is using but
I'm going to assume Windows and a recent version of GnuCash :-)
Gnucash uses GTK3 - the following are links from the wiki that relate to
updating GTK settings - if you check them out you'll see there's a bucket
load of settings you can customise.
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#In_GTK_CONFIG_HOME
If you go to the Help >> About menu on a recent version of Gnucash it will
display 6 or so file locations - the paths are clickable. Mine looks like
the picture below :-
If you click on the 2nd link (GNC_USERCONFIG_DIR) on a Windows pc it
should open your C:\Users\<<username>>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash folder -
I have a text file named "gtk-3.0.css" in that folder - make sure you don't
add a ".txt" extension to the file. It has the following entry in it to
control the application wide font setting - you can set the font size up or
down until you find a suitable setting. If you change a setting you need
to restart Gnucash to pick up the new settings.
/* Application wide font setting */
* {
font: 24px arial;
}
Hope this helps, Cheers David H.

My wife is trying to help a friend with low vision get started in GNUCash.
She asked if there is a way to enlarge everything in the GNUCash window
(she is moving from Quicken which, apparently does).
Thanks in advance!
Fred
