[GNC] access to Gnucash Nabble

[David JamesTK]

Thanks D, searched C: drive but no gtk-3.0.css file found.

With Windows 10 changing the overall size of everything is easy, can be done in small increments too only problem is all items are made larger - Chrome is already bordering on too big at the moment.

Nabble

Yes, sorry the title is a bit misleading as originally asking where the Nabble mailing list forum (not a forum) thingy had moved to, thought support may have stopped.

David H, can I respond to you also, the wiki page is my reference point too, if you can highlight what needs to be typed i.e correct syntax as per D response that would be great.

Cheers

So,

My gtk-3.0.css is in

C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash

And the designator that changes fonts looks like this:

* {
   font-size: 16px;
   font-family: "Arial", sans-serif;
}

You'd be better off following that, rather than copying from another app.

Copied the config file containing this

[Settings]
gtk-font-name=Arial 18
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba=rgb

Into empty file location C:\Users\david\AppData\Local\gtk-3.

No change, this happened with Thunderbird too, option there was edit css file something mentioned on wiki also.

Cheers

It’s my understanding the file is optional so won’t appear in all locations? Have you tried copying your file into the app data location which is currently empty by the look of things?

Cheers David H.

Cheers David, tried the local folder first but appears empty (hide system files option off)

C:\Users\david\AppData\Local\gtk-3.0  (empty)

Searching C drive for gtk-3.0 returns four entries below with my comments in blue;

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\etc\gtk-3.0  (currently in this folder)

C:\Users\david\AppData\Local\gtk-3.0  (empty)

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\themes\Default\gtk-3.0 (contains css file gtk-keys)

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\themes\Emacs\gtk-3.0  (contains css file gtk-keys)

Probably not, depends what you set GNC_DATA_HOME to I guess  - check that wiki again - https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GTK_CONFIG_HOME

Cheers David H.
GTK_DATA_HOME

Versions: 3.x and more recent only

GnuCash uses GTK for its graphical user interface; thus, locations that are used by GTK are also relevant. Note the base directories on Windows and macOS for this differ from the base directories for GNC_DATA_HOME<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_DATA_HOME>.

Linux
USER_DATA_HOME<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#USER_DATA_HOME>/gtk-3.0
Windows
%LOCALAPPDATA%<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#Environment_variables_LOCALAPPDATA_and_APPDATA>\gtk-3.0
macOS
HOME<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#HOME>/.local/share/gtk-3.0

Thanks Glen.

Currently in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\etc\gtk-3.0  on Windows 10 Pro
editing this file settings.ini

Before

[Settings]
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba=rgb

After

[Settings]
gtk-font-name=Arial 18
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba=rgb

Is this the right folder location and entry (18 font not needed, just making it super obvious for any changes)

Thanks, David

Hi,

You can use any text editor

Hello all,

No idea if this will reach anyone but wanted to ask a question please.

Just switched back to using Windows (long story) but noticed the font is smaller than on Mint using the same screen.

Followed most of the GTK 3.0 instructions on Wiki including editing settings.ini file as per their help file, unfortunately no change at all.

Do I need to run GTK inspector to edit or can this be done in notepad (as I have done?)

Thanks,

David
