[GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[D]

Oh. Ok. I'm sorry it's not working for you; I'm pretty sure that, prior to my leaving the Apple world, I was able to change the appearance of Gnucash by following the css styling instructions. That included the tab height. Unfortunately, for this discussion, I no longer have my Mac to look at the configuration to guide you further.

For testing, you might try applying a basic broad css style (like changing the base font face) to see whether you can get any css to take. Once you get that working, add the tab height settings to the file and see the results. A lot of this requires just the right file name in just the right location with just the right formatting; get any of our setting, and none of it works.

Best of luck,
David T.

No.  I can’t seem to find a way to make a change in ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css that impacts the sidebar.  I did find in the discussion and in other places how to set the padding around the menubar icons and text, and I see discussion in various places about changing the sidebar, but none of the changes I attempt have any impact.

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.
