LyX v2.5.0 RC1 on Windows 11/64 bit, latest version.
I started to experiment with Color Scheme (see below), to see if that was related to the previously reported “problem” with white background for equations. I installed LyX v2.5.0 RC1 without first deleting LyX v2.4.4, and later un-installed LyX v2.4.4. Up until now, LyX v2.5.0 RC1 has used exactly the same color scheme as in LyX v2.4.4. Then I have tried all of System Default, Light Mode, and Dark Mode. Switching between these models does not work smoothly: it appears to take time from I click on Apply to when the UI scheme changes, if it changes at all. The first time I tried Dark Mode, the background of the pull-down menu was black, and I cound’t see the text in the menu. After a couple of switches and restarts, that now seems to work. I have tried to switch back to System Default (is that the color scheme of LyX v2.4.4??). Sometimes, the UI colors change when I click on Apply or OK, but not always. [cid:[email protected]] In spite of the fragility, I have observed three different color schemes: 1. A pale scheme, which I suspect is the System Default 2. A Dark scheme 3. A light sandstone color – is that Light Mode? -----Original Message----- From: lyx-users <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Richard Kimberly Heck Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:24 PM To: lyx-users <[email protected]>; LyX Developers <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: LyX 2.5.0 Release Candidate 1 We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for LyX 2.5.0.
