Changing the color of notes in pdf output
Hello,
Is it somehow possible to change the color of notes ("Greyed out notes") in
the pdf that lyx outputs? (I'm using LyX 1.6rc2 and texlive running on
Ubuntu Linux)

Is there a way I can work with it as one document, but tell LyX to produce several PDF files for printing? Or do I have to split the document into several myself? Thanks! -mi If you don't mind continuous page numbering for the two volumes, I'd suggest creating it as one document (with child documents as convenient -- I usually use one for each chapter) using a document class which uses Parts (such as the various book classes), and put each volume into a Part. Then generate a PDF file for the whole book and use PDFTK to split it into the two volumes. You could use this tool to add a copy of the TOC to the second volume if desired. If you want separate page numbering for each volume, it's a bit more complicated. You would need to reset the page number at the beginning of Part 2, but I think this would give problems with cross references, the table of contents and the index. The TOC and cross references ought to work, but there will obviously be the problem of deciding if it is "page 45" in volume one or volume two. It is possible to use parts, and use the part number as part of the cross reference. It is probably best to include the part number only when the page isn't in the same volume. Such things can be programmed in latex, and the extra time might be worth it if there are lots of such cross references. Or just type "volume I/II" explixitly when needed, although that will give you grief if you ever move a chapter from one volume to another.

Fast typing - LyX follows slowly only
Hello, For a long time I valued LyX for its swiftness when typing. Something changed recently, however and I do not have an idea what is causing this.

But nothing changed when I switched this feature of. Version: LyX 1.6.0 (7 November 2008) - compiled binary on Ubuntu 8.10 Any ideas? Regards, seacyd

Toggle Toolbars off?
When I type a math the math toolbar and math-panel toolbar automatically toggles at the bottom of the screen. (Mac OS X 10.5.5 with Lyx 1.6) This is a nice idea, but sometimes has some problems. For example, if I was typing at the bottom of the screen, then I may get the stuff I'm writing covered up by the toolbar! After hitting a key the screen will move, but it isn't ideal to be left blinded for a moment. Anyway, since I barely need it, for this and other reasons I'd rather have it turned off by default and then opt in at will. But I couldn't figure out how to do this. So how can I get the toggled math and math-panel toolbars to be off? Thanks -Ivan

I un-checked also all items in this section such as "Enable tool tips in main work area" and even tried to un-check all Session items as well. Still slow.

In a development version of 1.6 I realized this problem and thus I usually do not show the source code (view source unchecked). The "complete source" item therin was also switched off. Automatic update was switched on, switching it off does not change the situation, however. The document is short, it has only 8 pages. Any further ideas?

Omnigraffle - latexit - linback
Good Evening, I am running OS 10.5 on a macbook pro with lyx 1.6, texlive2008, Omnigraffle 5.1 and latexit 1.16. I am using the script og-export.scpt provided on the lyx wiki. Things are working fine when i use the latexit services from omnigraffle, except for the quality of the output of the font on the pdf output(using pdflatex). However when i just drag and drop the equation from latexit to omnigraffle, lyx viewer and latex generate an error that they cannot the size of the graphic. If i save the omnigraffle file to pdf and then use it in lyx everythings work fine and the quality of the output is good. However i would like to be able to include straight away the omnigraffle to lyx. I was wondering if anybody could help me on this one. Regards Brice
Edit Header on 1 page of a Koma book
How can I change a single page's header?
The last page of a chapter is an odd numbered (right) page.
The next page (even number, left) includes a page number and chapter title
as a header above the otherwise blank page. The following page is the first
page of a new chapter.
How to delete either the chapter title, or the chapter title and the page
number from a chapter's last even-numbered page when it is blank.
I tried various erts from the Koma manual, but nothing happened.
Thank you.

This macro gives both a vertical line and a horizontal for an entire
matrix. It's crude, but it works. You should be able to do something
similar. It may require ERT, I haven't tried setting up array

Would be too simple. Moving it up to the recommends would not only give you the ~20MB texlive-latex-extra but also a lot of -doc packages of about 100MB.

I should manually install ImageMagick to View images,Why?
Hi, my system is windows Xp, I'm using Lyx 1.60. I installed the alternative installer. But I found that the image can't be displayed in any Lyx files. I installed the ImageMagick-6.4.2-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe to solve the problem. My question is: The alternative installer said that it will install ImageMagick automatically, where is the imagemagick after installing? I can't find these files then. Thanks very much.
sidecap problem and questions
I followed the help document on embedded object to place figure caption on the side. However I end up with a caption like this "Figure [EMAIL PROTECTED] figure: caption text". Any idea what might be broken? In addition, the caption text is indented to the ":", is there a way to turn off the indentation? What about putting "Figure 1.1:" on a separate line?

One more simple check: is your /usr or / partition at 100%? This can happen easily with Gentoo when installing large packages (and texlive is immense) because the downloaded file is written to /usr/portage/distfiles, then the downloaded file is extracted, probably to /tmp or /var/tmp, then the package is installed, in /usr/share for texlive. This can easily exceed a gigabyte of disk usage, and depending on your partition arrangement all of these directories may be on the same partition. Les -- L. R. Denham http://www.hal-pc.org/~ldenham
