Hi,
Thank you all for the great software program GnuCash.
I'm sorry if this is a repeat, but I couldn't figure out the search page.
If this should go to the user email list please let me know.
I am a 40 year old legally blind male that have very poor vision and can
only see and read my computer when there is a black background with
bright text.
I would like to change the register colors both background and font text
color.
I have tried changing the themes and like the MS-Windows one cause it is
all bright text with black background. This might be due to the fact
that I am using Windows 8 in High Contrast #2 (personalize) mode.
Like I said it is all bright text with black background except for the
register window.
If I check the box "Edit->Prefrences->Register->Use System Theme Colors"
the Register when goes all black because it is black text with black
background.
If I uncheck "Use System Theme Colors" box then it is black text with
yellow/white background, which I am unable to read due to my poor vision.
I have been googling and searching and have learned about the file:
C:\Users\Brian\.gtkrc-2
I know themse are located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\themes
I just don't know what to put and where to make the register a black
background with yellow text color.
Please also let me know if "User System Theme Colors" should be checked
or not.
Thank you so very much. I have been spending the past 2 days trying to
figure this out.
Brian
