Igor,

You can't inline attachments; if you try the list server eats them.
What you need to do is copy those two sections (not just the comments) from https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/master/doc/gtkrc-2.0.gnucash#L138
and then change the color codes. You'll have to restart GnuCash after making the change, the rc files are read at start-up. 

The file name is 'C:\Users\<User Name>\.gtkrc-2.0.gnucash'. Note the dot at the beginning of the file name, which makes it a hidden file on unix-like systems. Even though the hiding doesn't work on M$Win, the dot still needs to be there.
