[GNC] Changing colors and layout on 4.8

[Ken Farley]

The settings are almost the same from 3.x to 4.x, but coincidentally, 
the things to change Gnucash specific items (like register colors) are 
different. I'm attaching my own gtk.css with my own preferred settings. 
I spent a good amount of time delving into the interface settings 
available in general for GTK3 by looking at other much more complicated 
themes people have written, etc.

Hope it helps.
