[GNC] Location of gtk css file on MacOS

[Adrien Monteleone]

If you think you *really* need to keep an older version, I'd install 
that to your own ~/Applications directory, then delete the rest save for 
the most recent 4.1. Otherwise, just grab another copy of that version's 
dmg and save it somewhere just in case. It is trivial to re-install if 
needed. That way, you eliminate all chance of overrides.

The rest shouldn't technically interfere because they shouldn't be 
looking in each other's application bundles, but are you certain you are 
always opening 4.1? How do you tell them apart?

Do you have anything regarding GnuCash or GTK in ~/.config? If so, I'd 
move that out of there for later triaging, or if you know you don't need 
it, delete.

Regards,
Adrien

Most of the ones it finds are in the Gnucash applications themselves. I have a bunch of old Gnucash apps on my machine. Could they be causing problems.

You might to a global search for files named gtk.css to make sure that there isn't a leftover somewhere overriding the one you want to use.
