       <summary>Color the register using a gnucash specific color theme</summary>
       <description>When enabled the register will use a GnuCash specific color theme (green/yellow). Otherwise it will use the system color theme. Regardless of this setting the user can always override the color theme via a gnucash specific css file to be stored in the gnucash used config directory. More information can be found in the gnucash FAQ.</description>
