[GNC] Change GnuCash scrollbar color in CSS?

[Adrien Monteleone]

It has been some time since I dealt with the topic, but I vaguely seem 
to recall that someone reported that the Inspector can run under 
Windows, though I didn't think that possible at first. Of course, I 
could be remembering wrong, and I don't have an installation on that OS 
to test it out. (maybe it has to be installed separately?)

I think I once advised to spin up a Linux VM to run the Inspector, but 
then learned that the GTK versions between OSes don't always, or maybe 
even never, match. So what might work on one, might not work on an another.

I'm not sure if this next idea will turn out to be more trouble or not, 
but since the desired change is controlled by GTK themes, rather than 
GnuCash, perhaps maybe investigate specifying a different theme entirely 
after finding one that more closely matches what you are looking to 
achieve. There should be instructions on the wiki for specifying an 
entire theme even on Windows.

There are many sources for GTK themes, gnome-look.org being one. You 
want to at least use a GTK 3 theme. If it is v4 only or older than 3, it 
most likely will not help. (GnuCash is now using GTK3)

Regards,
Adrien
