gruvbox theme for GnuCash

Dark mode	Light mode

A custom theme developed by reading the docs and searching the internet for help, examples, and troubleshooting. GnuCash mailing lists and r/GnuCash subreddit were also a great help.

It implements a series of changes not covered by the official sample template, possibly making it a better starting point for new themes or your own custom styling.

Install

Instructions can be found at gnucash.org/wiki.

Basically, you have to copy the desired gtk-3.0.css file to the USER_CONFIG_HOME folder.

In Linux systems, you can install it directly by downloading via wget:

Dark mode:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ggio/gnucash_gruvbox/refs/heads/main/gruvbox-dark/gtk-3.0.css -P ~/.config/gnucash

Light mode:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ggio/gnucash_gruvbox/refs/heads/main/gruvbox-light/gtk-3.0.css -P ~/.config/gnucash

Optional: choose a dark window theme with gnome-tweaks

For a fully dark appearance, it is recommended that you also select a dark theme for legacy applications with gnome-tweaks.
