Please see the attached screenshot. > This likely isn't what you're looking for, but I thought I would chime in. I fought with dark themes for a while, but could never get every single application and website to "dark mode". Even if I could, I don't want to spend that much time configuring everything, and there are always little problems like unreadable hard-coded black text on a "themed" dark background. I decided to go about the problem in a different way. A more general approach is xrandr-invert-colors. I have super-m mapped to toggle the inversion of all my screens, and other similar convenient mappings to toggle the inversion of one screen or the other (xrandr-invert-colors -s ). I change the inversion when I need to see a video, picture, or accurate coloration, but it has been a wonderful solution for me. Microsoft Windows users can get https://zerowidthjoiner.net/negativescreen which, as I remember, uses the magnifying glass accessibility API to preprocess the pixel colors through a matrix that can preserve the hue of each color while modifying its brightness, so bright red -> dark red, bright blue -> dark blue, etc. (White->black is a byproduct of those transformations.) I don't know of anything this flexible for X or Wayland, but I haven't seriously looked. So far I haven't found any software that doesn't have a "bright" theme (ardour still has one besides its many dark themes!), and sometimes there are web pages that use a dark theme, so I un-invert the screen and experience the intended dark theme.

[GNC] Payroll Report
My accountant recently asked for a "payroll" report. I think he wants something like this: https://imgur.com/tPemh4e.png (this is an image of the attached PDF). What is the best way to create such a report? I'm hoping I can do better than a set of Account Reports just showing the transactions. One idea I have is to try to add this kind of report to Gnucash. I realize I'm on the "user" list, so I'll stick to "user" solutions, and if nothing compelling shows up, I'll go to the developer list and see if I can either make something that will work for my needs or something I can contribute to Gnucash. payroll.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document ___ 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.

[GNC] Tracking Reimbursable Medical Expenses
I have a Health Savings Account in the United States as part of a high-deductible health insurance plan. It is an Asset account that holds my income tax-deductible money for use on medical expenses only. Every so often money is put into it: Assets:HSA$10 Revenue:Employer $10 When I incur a medical expense, I use my personal credit card to pay for it: Expenses:Medical $5 Liability:Credit Card $5 After a while, I reimburse myself for the medical expenses that have accumulated to date: Assets:Chequing $5 Assets:HSA $5 The trouble with this is it doesn't track the current amount of unpaid claims. Is there a way to work in an Assets:Accounts Receivable:Outstanding Medical Reimbursements or something like that? I would appreciate any feedback about how to deal with this situation. Thank you!

If that was the case, then I think things would get simple: it's not my expense. There would be no expense:medical because the expense is actually my employer's expense. As it is, the HSA money is *mine*, and the medical expense is *mine*. I think what gets complicated is the rule that I can only transfer money from *my* HSA to my chequing account in amounts equal to my medical expenses, and I would like to track that accruing amount. > 1.

The only problem I have with it is: reconciling the HSA account is difficult when the balance of the HSA bank account represented in the books over two accounts, HSA and Medical Reimbursable. Maybe that can be made easier in GNU Cash by making Medical Reimbursable a subaccount of HSA. Then reconciliation can be done "with subaccounts". At first review, this seems very good. I'll put it into practice and let you know if there's something that's not working right.

For instance, with Amazon, I can use these points directly at time of purchase, so Expense:CD Player $400 Revenue:Credit Card Rewards $200 Liabilities:Credit Card $200 but with other credit cards, they are applied as a statement credit betimes: Assets:Chequing Account$200 Revenue:Credit Card Rewards $200 I thought I would mention it in case it is helpful in any way.

It may also be helpful to you for reporting purposes to create a subaccount of Assets named Current where you can put your "current" assets. The credit card is not as asset since it accumulates debt (liabilities), so it should not be found under the Assets root level account. You will likely create another root level account, Liabilities, and again might consider creating a subaccount thereof, Current, for your "current" liabilities. So, something like this: Assets | ---Current | --- UK Chequing --- UK Saving --- Spain Savings Liabilities | ---Current | --- UK Credit Card ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

In the error output should be a string of perhaps 20 hex digits. You'll need to run gpg --receive-keys first. I'm using gnucash from the pacman repository, version 2.6.16-3. I didn't know it got removed from official repositories until a few minutes ago. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
