Hello,
I've been struggling to format attractive code listings. The boxes in
the attached mini-lyx document show my feeble attempts so far.
Box 2 is close to what I want, but has numerous problems:
1. Rather than red and white, I'd want black and light gray
2. I'd like width to be full width of text area of my page
3. I'd to use \listno\ in header, but get this error message when I try:
File ended while scanning use of \codelist.
<*> listno.tex
*** (job aborted, no legal \end found)
4. If I try to add a second code listing I get error messages or a
broken box depending upon how I try to terminate the first list
specification
5. I'd like to use a monospace font in the code area that has both
normal and bold face
Most of all, I'd like to understand how to gain programming control over
the appearance of my code list boxes. I've been studying the tcolorbox
manual. But when I try to change parameters in the lyx preamble nothing
seems to change. So I'm guessing there's a lyx issue I'm ignorant of.
I'd much appreciate any and all tips to help solve these issues.
Many thanks,
Lloyd R. Prentice
[I screwed up and replied privately rather than to the list, so I'm
repeating the reply here.]
Lloyd,
There are a couple of problems with your MWE. One is that it won't compile
due to a typo. In the TeX box after "More code", you have a left parenthesis
where you need a left brace. The other is that you seem to be using a
nonstandard document class. It's a good idea to keep MWEs as vanilla as
possible.
To make the background for the text in your code box more gray, ratchet up
the "5" in colback settings. Right now you have gray!5!white, which is a mix
of 5% gray and 95% white. Try something like 25 rather than 5.
I believe the specification red!1175!black for the colframe parameter is
illegal; the xcolor package wants numbers between 0 and 100. Since I'm not
sure what you're going for here, I can't make a useful suggestion, other
than to say the closer you get to 0 (100) the more red (black) you get in
the mix.
If you want the box header to have a pure black background, add
"colbacktitle=black" to the definition of the box.
To get full text width, you may need to use \newtcolorbox rather than
\newtcbox (which does not seem to like the width option). That will mean
using \begin{my box name} and \end{my box name} to create the box. The extra
option you give in the definition of the color box is "width=\textwidth".
An easier approach, in my opinion, is to use the features of the LyX module
to define a custom color box. I've attached a hacked copy of your file,
changing the document type to plain old book, fiddling a bit with your
preamble (while noting that the color box stuff in the preamble won't be
needed at all if you use the module features), and demonstrating the custom
color box feature from the module.
As for your other questions, it's dinner time here, so you're on your own.
Hopefully someone else will pick up the thread.
Paul
I'm CC'ing Lloyd. Since I did not see a reply, I'm guessing that he did

Hello all!
I am testing LyX 2.3.0 on windows 10 with MikTex 2.9. I have some old tables with
footnotes inside them which used to line up fine with the table using the "minipage

In LyX 2.3.0 this results in the footnote becoming an ordinary footnote, which makes it
hard to keep tables and footnotes on the same page. But I understand this is a feature
now. Is there any way to "emulate" the old behavior? I include a MWF and two
screenshots.
Thanks and all the best!

You could add \renewcommand{\tablefootnote}{\footnote} to the document
preamble. (If you do this a lot, you might want to cobble together a module for
it.)
Paul
Thank you Paul! This works fine and takes me out of immediate danger zone. I
guess a module would be a good idea in the long run.
A somewhat linked issue is that I get an error message if I use the rotate package in a
LyX file that uses tablefootnotes: "Package tablefootnote Error: Package rotating
loaded after tablefootnote."
Hard to find a place to load rotate before the tablefootnote though.
Many thanks again!
Niklas
Niklas,
I've attached a module. Try putting it in your local layouts folder
(~/.lyx/layouts on most Linux systems), then reconfigure LyX, add it to your
document (and do /not/ add the \renewcommand line in the preamble), then see if
you get the desired results (including using the rotate package).
Cheers,
Paul
Hello,
Thank you Paul! I placed the module in (windows 10)
"c:\Users\myselfwhatever\AppData\Local\LyX 2.3\Resources\layouts\ and
reconfigured but could not find any module in restarted LyX. This might have
something to do with my Windows configuration.
I then placed it in "c:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\Resources\layouts\" as
administrator, reconfigured and now it is available in document settings/modules.
Everything works including getting rid of the rotating error message :)
I will try it in my Mac tonight.
All the best!
Niklas
On Windows 7 the module should go to "C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\layouts\". I would expect this to be the same on Windows 10. The
"c:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\Resources\layouts\" location should be left for layouts and
modules of the official LyX distribution. When LyX 2.3.1 comes out and you upgrade, this folder will be
overwritten and Paul's module will be lost (unless it gets incorporated into the official LyX distro.).
Andrew
The correct path name for the user configuration directory is
shown in the About LyX dialog. Probably there is a missing or
an additional space in path name here.
Hi!
Yes of course. The path should be "C:\Users\name>\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\". I was too quick and put it in
~\local\Lyx2.3\Resourses in mistake. I now removed it från c:\Program
Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\Resources\layouts\", reconfigured and all is well.
Thanks
Niklas
On Mac the directory path name should contain LyX-2.3, BTW.
