What are your specific requirements? What is your discipline? Are you doing math, law, social sciences, computer sciences? All this disciplines have typical (even though not official) conventions for typesetting, etc., so you are probably not looking for a any template. I strongly recommend to think a bit about what you want before looking around and testing dozens of latex classes. I have been in the process of writing down my PhD thesis in computer science for a couple of months. I am using the koma-script report class / style (look for "report (koma-script)") and, so far, I am quite happy with it. koma-script is not specific for computer science theses, but provides excellent documentation, built-in support for many typical requirements (such as living headlines) and relatively easy customization. On the LyX side I did some customization to support my intended document structure. For instance, each chapter is a child document which includes the bibliography if compiled stand-alone, but does not include a bibliography if embedded into the master document. In this case there is only one bibliography at the very end. I also added some extra float types, environments and so on. All these extensions are driven by my specific requirements. If you have very similar requirements my LyX style might help you. However, I doubt that it could generally be used as "template" out of the box - to much customization. Therefore I recommend to start with a good and widly-used general-purpose text class (such as koma-report) and seek for help on this list for the specific customizations you want to do. Daniel
