[GNC] Location of gtk css file on MacOS

Fri Sep 11 18:07:13 EDT 2020

Will,

As I said 10 days ago, I only have the one in
/Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/gtk-3.0.css and it works.
/Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0/ is just
an empty folder on my mac.  Why don't you try moving all those old apps to
some other storage or deleting them altogether - why keep them around
anyway ?  Or you could rename all the other gtk-3.0.css files to
gtk-3.0.bak temporarily if you really want to keep them around ????

Cheers David H.
