Hi! I'm using LyX 1.5.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (PPC)
I would like to modify the content of some of the toolbars. The on-

then it also adds that one should edit the default.ui file. Hence,
not from the pref pane (???)
You need to specify the .ui file you want from the preference pane.
If you want to customize it, make a copy of default.ui, rename it,
and place it somewhere else.
I expected to to find default.ui file in some /Library/Application
Support/LyX// directory, but I could only find it in /Applications/
LyX.app/Contents/Resources/ui. Is this the intended location, or
did the installer fail to copy some of the files to where they
should belong?
The default one belongs (on Mac) in LyX.app/Contents/Resources/ui.
The natural place for you to put a customized one would be in ~/
Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5/ui.
I noticed that default.ui includes stdtoolbars.inc. I assume that I
shuld copy all of these files to my /Users/Library/Application
Support/LyX/ directory, and then modify stdtoolbars.inc ?
No need to copy them if you don't need to modify them.
Isn't there any ui-driven procedure to follow?
No; not currently. (And I don't think there are any plans to do so.)
