I'm not sure I'm understanding this.  Are you talking about the 
Transaction form at the foot of the Ledger window?  If so, there is an 
alternative in Settings/Configure KMM/Ledger.  Uncheck the box so as not 
to show the Transaction form.

It can take a little time to find the optimum configuration settings to 
suit a user's taste.

I'm not sure I would choose orange as the alternate colour.  In fact, I 
don't use the alternate colour.  In fact, I rely on the system settings. 
  Again, it's an individual's taste.

It's good to see you found a method to suit your requirement.  There are 
probably several other ways it could be done.  It looks like franking is 
a feature just in Australia.
