Without more info on what isn't working, there's not much to help with. 
(a copy of your custom file would help)

But you can still do this on your own. (probably best if there are lots 
of things to tweak)

1. Install Virtualbox
2. Create a new VirtualMachine and install a linux distribution in it. 
(the more recent the better, probably Ubuntu or Fedora in that case)
3. Install GnuCash 4.x in the linux virtual machine, either build it or 
use the Flatpak.
4. Run GnuCash with the Inspector turned on.
5. Find your CSS target(s), test and update your file as needed.

Steps 1 & 2 should take less than 10 minutes with reasonable download speed.

If you build GnuCash in step 3, that could take 60-90 minutes if you've 
never done it before. (about 30-45 minutes setup, and maybe same for the 
build) CPU and memory of the host machine (and how much you allocated to 
the Virtual Machine) effects this as well, so mileage will vary.

Setting up Flatpak and installing GnuCash should take about 10 minutes 
tops. (so much faster and far less technical than building)

Steps 4 & 5 will involve some learning the Inspector and some trial and 
error. Thankfully, the inspector includes a live CSS editing tab for 
more rapid testing, but you'll still want to test your actual file 
changes in Windows as the two GTK versions (between Linux and Windows) 
are likely to be different.

Sadly, there is no easier way if the Inspector won't run on Windows 
directly.
