In the general case, I agree that it would be *very bad* if one could edit an email after sending it. In terms of tools for technical discussions in particular, though, I think a "version-controlled forum" approach does a decent job of offering the best of both worlds: It puts the current state of discussion all in one place that's easy to read without having to parse 'n' levels of quoted fragments and seek out entire separate documents to see their context and so forth... But!

Wouldn't a decent RSS aggregator provide very much that same unified and sorted "inbox" experience for discussions conducted in web forums? Admittedly one still has to log in to *reply*, leading us to the hot mess that is authentication on the web (which can be worked around fairly painlessly via a password manager with good browser integration). Again, I'm not particularly advocating for Gnucash discussions to move to a web forum or what-have-you, I just find the question fascinating. In my opinion, the hardest objection to address is the overhead, both in hosting costs and administration time/effort. There's also the fact that a forum is much more vulnerable to the whole record being lost if the server admin disappears without handing over the keys to a successor, but that risk could be mitigated fairly effectively by having the contents synced to a public repo on Github or similar. I know that approach is popular for static sites, and *in theory* I think a version-controlled forum platform should be conducive to this setup, but I don't know whether such a thing is available in practice.

Re: [GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection
Your CSS might be at play. I'm using 4.8 and I have some tabs colored. They show the blue line just like the non-colored tabs. However, I have some padding/margin around these colors, so it looks more like a high-lighter effect. (the base color of the tab is still visible around the custom color) Perhaps your margin or padding needs to be examined, particularly on the right. It might only take a few px to expose the blue line. Regards, Adrien On 12/13/21 12:42 AM, AC wrote: After having gotten the main registers to all use dark themes I tried using colored tabs for the first time. That indeed has been helpful to make it easy to spot particular accounts from a big list of tabs (all bank accounts are one color, credit cards another, etc.) But one thing I noticed is that for tabs that do not use color, the currently selected account tab has a vertical blue bar to its right (assuming the tabs are aligned on the left side of the screen) and the shade of the tab changes slightly (i.e. dark gray tabs in the dark theme turn a slightly lighter shade of gray). However, when using color for the tabs, the blue bar does not appear when you select a colored tab. The color completely overrides everything so you can't tell at a glance which of the tabs you've selected. I'll have to go back and drop color from the accounts for now because it'll be too easy to not notice which account I'm using and start entering things. Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: [GNC] Trouble creating this report
You want Reports>Experimental>Income Statement (multicolumn) On the Options>General tab, set the Period Duration to 'One Month' and on the Accounts tab, deselect all but the Expense accounts. You can also add a Total column via "If more than 1 period column, include overall period?" on the General Tab. Additionally, that looks very much like a Budget Report. (but with only the 'actuals' columns, not the budget or variance columns) You'd have to create a Budget to get one to run though. I don't think you need to put in any budget figures however.

So each asset doesn't have its own account? (that would be much easier) Otherwise, some reports allow REGEX filters where you can use your own custom 'tags' and then report accordingly.

[GNC] A repository for user-contributed files
This idea came up on another thread, but I thought it sufficiently separate idea to warrant its own thread. Would people find it useful to have a repository of user contributed files (reports etc.)? Does one exist? If one does not exist, any suggestions on how to maintain one? A groups.io group could be set up, but the free version of that is now limited to just 100 members, so that's pretty useless. My experience of permitting file uploads is that it is a PITA due to people attempting to upload nasties. I could create a sub-domain on https://kirkbymicrowave.co.uk/ so instead it was https://gnucaseh.kirkbymicrowave.co.uk/ (that will be broken now) Then people email me files and I manually upload them. But that would become too much of a burden if there were many reports. Any thoughts on a) Does one exist? b) Would many contribute? c) How to store the files.? d) Anything else of relevance?

Re: [GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection
I've only added some GTK CSS to control the register colors and to
control the margin and padding of the tabs so they wouldn't take as much
space.
The CSS I used is very minimal, this is its extent:
* {
color: white;
}
.gnc-class-user-register-primary {
background-color: #151515;
color: white;
}
.gnc-class-user-register-secondary {
background-color: #252525;
color: white;
}
.gnc-class-user-register-secondary:disabled {
color: #050505;
}
.gnc-class-user-register-cursor {
background-color: goldenrod;
color: black;
border-radius: 0px;
}
.gnc-class-register-split {
background-color: #050505;
}
tabs, tab {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
I also did add this setting for GTK to switch to the dark theme:
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
And that's it. The blue highlight works fine with the above
modifications as long as I have not assigned a color to an account.

Did you do any customizing of the color scheme in your machine beyond what
you can do in the preferences?

Re: [GNC] A repository for user-contributed files
I don't know if one exists already or not, but assuming no, one path forward might be GitHub (or a competing non-Microsoft git service that also has a decent web interface). I am operating under the assumption that some such service is free or has a reasonable free tier. This would allow for multiple maintainers and the ability for people to submit reports from their own repositories. It would also allow for resuscitation via a fork if all active maintainers stopped contributing around the same time. One big drawback would likely be that GitHub doesn't seem very user-friendly for users that aren't in it regularly.

Re: [GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection
That was it. I added padding-right: 5px; to the tabs and the blue bar is now visible.

Re: [GNC] A repository for user-contributed files
Dr. Kirkby, I appreciate your enthusiasm for this idea. I honestly doubt you'll get many contributors. When I joined the Gnucash community back in 2006, one of the areas I'd hoped for improvement was in reporting, and I raised the issue in the lists. It was suggested to me at the time that the tools existed for users to contribute their own reports-- and that those reports might then get added to the project. I was directed to a guide for programming in Scheme and the Gnucash wiki pages for creating one's own custom reports. And that's where my dreams of contributing custom reports to gnucash died. Writing reports for gnucash in Scheme is hellaciously complicated (no offense, Derek!), and most of my energy now has been focused on how to manipulate the existing reports to do something close to my goals. Judging by the paucity of actual new reports (never mind fixes to existing ones, which languished for years and years until Christopher Lam came along)(thank you, Chris!!) in the Gnucash stable of reports over the years, I'd have to say my own experience is rather common. Far more useful, in my opinion, is for users to share their tricks for getting gnucash to do their bidding, for which pages on the wiki (such as https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Using_GnuCash) were created to allow.

That may be so, but it's news to me. I've been in the tech business for a long time, but I've done my best to avoid Windows as much as possible (long boring story why I'm on it now).

Re: [GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection
Yeah, the inspector didn't help me much to find that so I'm probably just not going to worry about it. I tried the one thing I thought was correct from the inspector output and it didn't change.

I'm not sure how to change that bar's color since I'd like to do something that stands out mroe against the dark gray but at least it's there so I know what I've selected. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
