Of course, in the budget.scm, you'll be looking to change around line
138, in gnc:html-table-add-budget-line! ... as for the selection,
something like::

    (cond ((<= act-val bgt-val) "green")
          (#t                   "red"))

...should work alright.


As for the color/font/style ... look at the hello-world report, which
has at least a reference to (gnc:html-document-set-style! [...]
font-color [...]).  Bear in mind that "stylesheet" there is a pre-CSS
styling mechanism within gnucash, and gtkhtml only supports like HTML3,
so we're talking font tags and what not.

This is way harder than it should be.  :( Some future revision of the
reports will address that, but for now it's the way it is.
