[GNC] Settings for low-vision users?

[David H]

Hi Fred,

You don't say what OS and Gnucash version your wife's friend is using but
I'm going to assume Windows and a recent version of GnuCash :-)

Gnucash uses GTK3 - the following are links from the wiki that relate to
updating GTK settings - if you check them out you'll see there's a bucket
load of settings you can customise.

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#In_GTK_CONFIG_HOME

If you go to the Help >> About menu on a recent version of Gnucash it will
display 6 or so file locations - the paths are clickable.  Mine looks like
the picture below :-

If you click on the 2nd  link (GNC_USERCONFIG_DIR) on a Windows pc it
should open your C:\Users\<<username>>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash folder -

I have a text file named "gtk-3.0.css" in that folder - make sure you don't
add a ".txt" extension to the file.  It has the following entry in it to
control the application wide font setting - you can set the font size up or
down until you find a suitable setting.  If you change a setting you need
to restart Gnucash to pick up the new settings.

/* Application wide font setting */
* {
  font: 24px arial;
}

Hope this helps, Cheers David H.
