Register colors & appearance

[Kim_Wood]

A couple of things... 

1)  I suggest that the default Gnucash register appearance is not as
attractive to existing Quicken users as it should be.  I believe that a
Quicken user might be more likely to find Gnucash initially interesting and
make the switch to Gnucash if the default register choice was as follows:

Register Defaults/Double Line Mode - on

Register/Double line mode colors alternate with transactions  - on (with all
other Graphics options turned off including horizontal & vertical lines)

2) Have the developers got strong views why the the default Gnucash register
appearance is single line, rather than double line?  IMHO it is a very
unattractive & less functional choice than double line/alternating color
mode.

This provides a "Quicken-style" register appearance.  Further, it would be
great to be able to select alternating register background colors other than
green and white - with the selected register highlighted yellow.  They
aren't too bad - but I would prefer to select my own colors.  I assume that
I can edit one of the Gnucash config files to do this - but I have searched
for information on this, but with no luck.  Can anyone help with this?

Having said all that - Gnucash is a great product.  I ditched Quicken months
ago with no regrets at all!
