I am still a little confused.  On my Windows machine the various parts
of GnuCash have the same unimaginative colors that are shown in the
illustrations of the help manual.  For example the Account Register
Display is decked out in those clashing shades of green yellow and
brown.  In Linux the colors are the same, I think (I will check later
when I am at my Linux machine).

The main difference that I can recall is that the OK and Cancel buttons
are reversed in the color picker for the Windows version.
