Sorry - when I said "design", I meant the way the printed invoice
looks.  As you point out below, they are ugly (though I wasn't about
to say that).  The system itself works just fine, and yes, I do use
it.

The layout I use for my printed invoices is very different from the
stock gnucash layout.  I need to be able to explain more, and much
of what I do is charged as a lump sum, so all the unit price,
quantity, and discount stuff is less than useful.
