Nice to hear that.

The .gnucash directory is indeed only used by gnucash 2.6 and older. Gnucash 
3.x will read it only once to migrate all the information in there to a 
directory that depends on the operating system's recommendations. The full 
details of these new locations can be found here:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations
And they are also mentioned on the Custom Rpoerts wiki page.

I am curious though: where did you put your css and -eguile.scm file ? And how 
do you specify them in your report ? Did you just change the options' default 
values ?
