I tried Big Caslon to see if I could get it to work. No dice. Very strange. I see too that Family Name is more consistent when I tried various fonts - good find. I tried specifying a font-variant rule and though it is listed in the CSS Properties list, I can’t seem to change it from ’normal’. A

The wiki instructions look good. (and simple) As for the account tabs, it seems GtkNotebook follows an alternating pattern of contents,tab,contents,tab etc. So the first ‘contents’ is the GncAccountPage and is followed by its tab. Both of these (as well as GncRegisterPage(s) and their tabs) are

Adrien, It turns out that installing GTK+3 helps… ;) Once that’s installed, I get the inspector in all its painful glory. I have added information to the GTK3 page of the wiki for MacOS installation. I won’t even try to guess why seemingly equal elements (e.g. individual Account tabs) are pars

* On the question of errors, I’ve noticed something similar in some cases. It is spotty though. Sometimes the rest of the declaration works. Certainly, if your rule doesn’t terminate in a “;” or you accidentally terminated it with “:” then likely the entire declaration will fail. This is not lik

Interesting. Might be something about Mohave, I’m still on HighSierra. Also, forgot to note, yes I too get those same output warnings in Terminal. Not sure if there is a problem there, or just a warning. I just recalled that for me too, the inspector did not launch initially. I had to install g

David, I’ll address the inspector first and then send another reply to the specific CSS questions. The inspector most likely is opening (I use the same command) but it’s opening behind the GnuCash window. Do an Application Window spread and you’ll see it. (I have my top left hot corner set, bu

Adrien, Further comments. First, I’m learning that, for colors at least, the names used have no spaces in them. So, “lightsteelgrey”, not “light steel grey”. I found a different site that noted the unspaced name forms after my initial attempts. My mistake. [This does not, however, rectify the

Yes, but as I noted, the Accounts page is not designed in a way that you can target the individual lines using those (even/odd) pseudo selectors. It is also unknown if Gnome even implemented pseudo selectors at all for Gtk3. (I think I’ve tried some on other elements and they did not work) The

Jill, Unfortunately, this does not appear to be possible at the present time. You can only target the entire background, not individual lines for zebra striping. I did find a possibility of having grid lines, but this will need to be done via code by the developers. I’d suggest filing a bug re

Hi Adrien First of all sorry for delay in replying and thank you very much for this. Could you tell me how to have even and odd rule for the account page?   Prior to upgrading, it used to display white but with every other line in grey, which is much easier to read. Cheers Jill On 19/10/201
