[GNC] latest gnucash release (3.1) feedback

[Adrien Monteleone]

You can tailor the colors and fonts to your liking using a custom CSS file. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘layout’ but the new Gtk+3 version does have more padding in many areas. I don’t think this is easily changeable, but it might be possible.

I’m not sure what is causing your flickering issues though. (I’m using High Sierra on a Mac Mini and don’t see any such issues) Those would probably be worth filing bug reports over. However, there’s a good chance those are video card related and might not be necessarily solvable via GnuCash code. Do you use any other Gtk+3 apps on your Mac? (if so and those apps don’t flicker, then that would help to show it is a GnuCash problem and not a Gtk problem)

Finally, note that there is a more recent version of 2.6, The latest out is 2.6.21. It fixes several bugs from that 2.6.19-1 release. (The 2.6.20 had some major issues precipitating the 2.6.21 ‘final’ 2.6 release)

Regards,
Adrien

> What I do not like about the new 3.1 is:(1) there seems to be a lot of graphics issues at launch,,, page flickers and windows flash(2) basically, I do not like the way the color scheme works;  colored tabs almost makes it impossible to read the tab.  this is unlike prior versions where tab color did not interfere with tab titles(3) overall, I do not like the new layout/color/font... the look is totally different and I do not like it.(4) Maybe if there weren't issues 1 and 2, #3 would not be quite so noticeable and I might not have even noticed.
