[GNC] dark theme on Linux

[Geert Janssens]

Hi Marcus,

For flatpak, that file should go into
$HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/gnucash
(as per https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/
Configuration_Locations#In_GNC_CONFIG_HOME )

Note though that you will probably have to update your css file to work with 
gnucash 4.5. Most of the gnucash-own css selectors have changed names to be 
more consistent. For example there's now "gnc-id-cursor" where before there 
was "cursor" or ".cursor" (depending on the version of Gtk you had installed). 
You can look at 
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/maint/gnucash/gnucash.css
for examples of most of the gnucash specific selectors. All others can be 
discovered using the gtkinspector tool.

Regards,

Geert
