The author is output with the command, so one can redefine \lyxadded or \lyxdeleted to do something with it. The default is just: \DeclareRobustCommand{\lyxadded}[3]{{\color{lyxadded}{}#3}} \DeclareRobustCommand{\lyxdeleted}[3]{{\color{lyxdeleted}\lyxsout{#3}}} and the LaTeX looks like: \lyxadded{Richard Kimberly Heck}{Sat May 30 19:14:07 2020}{this is a change} Riki -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Jerry Hi Jerry, Unfortunately, changes to the Identity in the Preferences work only after a restart of LyX. And the different colors for different identities you get in the work area this way, are not visible in the PDF output. I don't think different colors for different authors in the output are supported currently. Daniel -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
How to get different change tracking colors for different authors
LyX 2.3.2 macoS 10.11.6 PDF viewer Skim When change tracking is enabled, insertions are shown in LyX as underlined blue and deletions are shown in a slightly lighter shade of crossed-out blue. But in the PDF, insertions are in blue, no underlining, and deletions are crossed-out red. I’m on a second revision of a manuscript. I want to keep the changes from the first revision and also view changes to the second revision, but in different colors, both in LyX and PDF. I see that I could make myself the second author, as that author is set up for different colors. How do I do that? I see the Identity item in Preferences but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. And the docs seem a little shy on this topic, as far as I can tell. BTW the manual says that to get changes to appear in the output one needs dvipost. Seems a little stale and no mention of PDF which output seems to appear without adding any packages.
