[GNC] Font size

Yeah! I got it. It took a while to find the right folder to put the file in, but found it using the hot-link on the "about" pop up in the open gnu cash app.
Also, I think the spaces and separate lines made a difference. Mine looks like this now: /* Application wide font setting */* {  font: 20px verdana;arial;}
4 lines: 1 = comment, 2 = only asterisk and wavy bracket, 3 specs for font, 4 = closing wavy bracketI copied the format from this sample: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/stable/doc/gtk-3.0.css Thanks! Now I don't need new readers :)-Joanna_______________________________________Message: 8

OK ? For Phyllis and Joanna - Please bear with me.  I do have a programming background - so I have to be mindful to not be too technical.  This is for Windows.  Steps:


  1.
 If you don't have one already, you want to make a small text file called:  gtk-3.0.css
  2.
 In this file, you just need one line of text:    * {font: 14px verdana, arial, sans-serif;}  (format it just like I have it and notice, I am using 14 font and I am using verdana as the main one because that is what I like.  Use what ever size and font you want to replace the 14px verdana).
  3.
 Save this file with the one line of text in the following folder  -  c:\users\xxxxx\Appdata\Roaming\Gnucash  (where xxxxx is your user profile).  If this does not make sense to you - open GnuCash and hit HELP ? ABOUT.  The folder listed next to GNC_USERCONFIG_DIR is where the file needs to be.

Close out of Gnucash, if you have it open, and then re-open it and the new font should take hold.  If this does not work - others can chime in where I may have made a mistake.  Hope this helps.

Ken

Thanks for your reply, Ken.  I'm with Joanna.  I am not a programmer.
Anything that says change a register sends shivers up my spine.  I don't
know what a GTK is. I'm on windows 11 with V5.8
