There's also one called 'ggv'. It has better text quality than anything
else I've seen (antialiased fonts, I think), but a terrible user
interface. Hard to get it to dis

I reported this, or something similar, sometime last spring.
What I did is simply to edit the preferences file and set my colors by
hand. It will read and use what's there just fine.

I suppose this is a more of a general latex question than a Lyx-specific
one, but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere else. The
question seems pretty simple, even trivial: how can I get the page number
in the upper right corner of the page, instead of at the bottom center?

Well, that gets us into philosophical discussions about the nature of

There's an obvious answer: file and directory names should NEVER contain
spaces. I

Well, a lot of us, I think. If spam - even spam without worms & viruses -
is getting spread by the list server, it's far more likely to get read by
people who see "Lyx" in the title, and so think it's good stuff.

Paul,
I think that only changes the color of the display, not what's actually
being printed. (And is not saved in lyx file, etc.) The
Preferences->Colors dialog should do this, but doesn't as of 1.3 (xforms).
You can change the screen colors by editing the preferences file. Most of

Hi,
Is there a way in Lyx (or even in raw Latex) to conveniently indent a
whole block of text? Not indenting just the first line of a paragraph,
but putting the whole left edge over some amount, so that it stands out
from the surrounding text and looks better?
Sort of like this, if the m
Is there any documentation around on programming Lyx? It looks like I may
need do hack into the code to fix some of the bugs, and add a few things
to make my life easier, and that sure would be easier if I had some sort
of guide.
Thanks,
James
that most of them
weren't being saved, due to a comparison with defaults (I think) in
LColor.C. They work if you edit the preferences files by hand...

Hi,
I am - or at least I hope to become - a new user of Lyx (1.3), but I'm
having a few problems getting a usable environment set up. In particular,
the font used by the GUI (the one used on menus and such, not the text
being edited) is too small for me to read without a magnifier. How can I
