I'm in the same boat, running GnuCash 4.5 flatpak on Linux Mint 20.1. I 
have the dark theme running, but want the alternating lines appearance 
that I had in GC 3.x. I had created a gtk 3.0 theme css file for GC 3.x, 
and it had worked. Now, with upgrading the OS and installing Flatpak GC, 
I can't find where to put the old .css file to have it work. Any 
pointers would be appreciated.
