AW: AW: [LyX1.6.3/Vista] Setting prefs shrinks LyX window

It's a bug in Qt, and there's a partial workaround that the LyX developers may implement in a future version (although hopefully the Qt developers will fix the bug before too long). I don't know that a comment is necessary at the moment (but if it gets really annoying for you, feel free :-) ). I just checked the bug report one more time. I think they will keep track of it without another comment from my side. Meanwhile, it turns out that the bug only triggers if the window is maximized at the time you mess with the look and feel, so if you can remember to window it first, it's an extra click or two but not too horrible. (I like to work with LyX maximized, but fortunately I rarely fiddle with the look and feel.) So do I. At the moment I am fiddling around to get language switching between Arab and English working (see my other posting in lyx.documentation). This is why I am changing the prefs fairly often at the moment. /Paul Best, /J.

With LyX 1.6 this is get loading "modules" (sec. 3.1.2.2 Guía del usuario) : Documento->Configuración->Módulos I send you a set of AMS layouts translated into Spanish Copy the files included in the attached folder in your user (Ayuda->Acerca de LyX) /layouts/ directory. You easily can edit these files and modify the Spanish strings at your own (if anything isn't right or you don't like it).

You can put the figure caption in the frame or out the frame. Or you can get it in reverse order: Select the graphic, Insert->Box, select the box, Insert->Float->Figure Ignacio

Theorems in Spanish
Hello,
I have a great problems yesterday with my Lyx's file, and I had to make again
all over again (from source code, of course). The real problem is Theorems,
Lemmas, etc appears in English and I need appears in Spanish. Now the
definitions of theorems are
Code:
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
\theoremstyle{plain}
\ifx\thechapter\undefined
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
\else
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[chapter]
\fi
\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definition}
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}
\theoremstyle{remark}
\newtheorem{notation}[thm]{Notation}
But I need this
Code:
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
\theoremstyle{plain}
\ifx\thechapter\undefined
\newtheorem{thm}{Teorema}
\else
\newtheorem{thm}{Teorema}[chapter]
\fi
\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definición}
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lema}
\theoremstyle{remark}
\newtheorem{notation}[thm]{Nota}
With my last Lyx file I could do this without any extra code, just putting some
things in spanish, but I've trying a least a couple of hours and I can't.
Does anyone know how can I change that?
Thanks in advance.
Border around figure float
My "figure" is actually a text rendering of an html website layout and so confusingly seems to merge in with the text of the page. How can I get a border around my figure float? Sam

You, my friend, are a prime candidate for two free software offerings I use on
a daily, no, a minutely basis: Umenu and VimOutliner.
Umenu is a keystroke driven menu, which on my system is invoked by the Ctrl+9
keystroke combination. Then you keystroke through the menu. Unlike many lame
menu systems, Umenu doesn't require you to needlessly press Enter after each
choice -- simply pressing the letter corresponding to the command or submenu
does that command or submenu. Umenu has prompted argument substitution, so it
can ask you for arguments which you type in. I use Umenu a heck of a lot more
often than the system menu that comes with my distribution, and because the
EMDL file is part of my data, it survives reinstallations.
Umenu is configured with an Easy Menu Definition Language (EMDL) file, which is
nothing but a tab indented outline. The fastest way to author EMDL is with
VimOutliner.
VimOutliner is an outline processor atop the Vim engine. It has almost all the
classic outliner features: Collapse/Expand, Promote/Demote, body text,
checkboxes, executable lines. It's built from the bottom up for authoring
speed, so it's LIGHTNING FAST for the touch typist. The slick thing about
VimOutliner is you can record and organize your thoughts as fast as you can
think, so you don't "lose that thought."
Every book I've written since 2003 began its life in VimOutliner. LyX now has
an outline mode, and I thank the developers to the heavens for that, but
VimOutliner is MUCH faster in authoring, so I outline books in VimOutliner.
Because LyX has such a human readable and parsable native format, I was able
to develop a script to convert a VimOutliner outline into a LyX document. So
preliminary outlining is done in the lightning fast VimOutliner, and the
writing is done in the lightning fast LyX.
We keyboard types haven't gotten the respect we deserved ever since Windows
3.0 raised its ugly head, but these two programs were built from the bottom up
for touch typists.
