Change color of blue line

sstowe

I am visually impaired. I wonder if it is possible to change the color of "the blue line". Thanks.

@sstowe - When I look at an Account Register I see only a gray line (well, to me it looks gray) that is pretty thin and not very different from the lines separating all transactions.

But I am also seeing that future dated transactions are shaded while past dated transactions are not so for me it is easy to distinguish between them. You are not seeing something similar in your Account Registers?

Alternatively, you can change the color of the past dates transactions by going to Edit > Preferences > Register > Register Appearance > Colors > Select a color for each type of account > OK. I selected Green for my Spending Accounts and the picture above now looks like the following with the current date and all past date transactions being shaded in Green while the future dated transactions remain the same as they were before. Does this help you?:

Which blue line?

In the register, there is a line deliniating transactions from today and past and future transactions. I like to see my bills "below the line" for the future. This line is blue. I have to squint really hard to see it. Thanks

I am laughing (ruefully) at myself. I never even noticed that the future transactions were a different color. When I change the color as you suggest, the difference is such that I like the way it looks and I can see very quickly want I want to see. Thank you for taking the time to suggest another way to do this!
