[GNC] UI question about 2.6...

[Geert Janssens]

GnuCash 2.6 is indeed waaaay back to my memory is fuzzy.

Luckily our wiki comse to the rescue:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK2

Short summary, In Gtk2 your system can define how a toolbar is rendered. 
Perhaps CentOS and Ubuntu have different preferences on that.

You can however override this as explained in the wiki.

Regards,

Geert
