I've found it convenient to use different colour schemes for different
gnucash files, so I don't accidentally record income in the wrong set of
accounts (I keep personal and professional accounts separate, so that
it's hard to accidentally transfer between them).
Unfortunately. it's not convenient enough, because gnucash has only one
configuration file per user... is there any chance that some of this
informatin could be recorded in the gnucash file? THough I realise
there will be problems if the same gnucash file is used on machines with
different display capabilities...
(currently using gnucash 1.8.x, by the way)
