Register font color

[Geert Janssens]

Hi Brian,

A somewhat late reply to your request. It is a long standing bug [1] that the font colors in the 
register are hard-coded. I'm happy to inform you I committed a fix for this last week. It will 
first appear in gnucash 2.6.4 due by the end of the month.

The register will now use the theme colors for font and background. You can explicitly set the 
colors as well. There are 4 widgets that are used to determine the colors:
header_color
primary_color
secondary_color
split_color

For each of these widgets you could set the relevant foreground and background colors using 
.gtkrc. I have no experience with this myself though so you may have to search a bit to learn 
how this is done.

Regards,

Geert
