Looking at a ledger, is there any significance to the color of the reconciliation bar? Most are green, some are red. The values are accurate, and no warnings appear to be showing:
Custom colors are not enabled.
I couldn’t find anything related in the documentation (unless I just completely missed it.)
The background is green (positive) if the balance matches the value above it. The background turns red (negative) if those two values do not match. In your example 501.13 != 1,001.13.
Thank you very much for the explanation.
There is an occasional annoyance here if the reconciled balance matches the balance a few transactions above it, but not the one directly above - because there are not-cleared transactions. At some point, I may file a wishlist to color these reconciliations in a third color, to suggest the reconciliation was OK (matching an earlier balance) but just didn’t match the immediately preceding balance.
For a heavily used account, these reconciliation rows would always be red as there would always be transactions entered but not yet cleared at reconciliation time.
I also look at it through the lens of the feature: what does this information (i.e. red or green colors) tell me? In my reality, it tells me nothing. (I’m sure since this was coded in that it does tell other users additional information about their accounts.)
Not just a heavily used account, but I think for checking or credit card accounts only. I don’t recall ever seeing this in any other type of account, although it is still very annoying. For any other type of account, a red reconciliation tells me something is likely wrong, as I would be unlikely to intentionally complete a reconciliation that did not match the balance on the date of the statement. In my case, this has often led me to transactions I have created or deleted unintentionally, so it has proven useful more than once.
