Bernt, As a stop-gap measure before such a feature is implemented, you may be interested in how I've accomplished consistent Program Listing styling via the preamble in my April 5 post to this list. https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg106968.html Please contact me with any comments, questions, or concerns. Thank you, Joel
