I have no idea. But if you are feeling a little adventurous you might
want to try LyX 2.1 beta. You might have better luck with it:

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta1/LyX-210beta1-Installer-1.exe

Also, what do you mean by not working ? And which LyX version did
you try to install? And using which Windows installer?

I don't know anything about Windows so I won't be able to help you,
but this information might be useful to someone who does.

I think the default installation directory for all 1.6.x versions under 
Windows is C:\Program Files\LyX16, so you'll need to tell the installer 
to use a different directory to avoid overwriting 1.6.3.  Other than

Simply typing this in doesn't work.  The '{' is interpreted as a literal

Depends :-)

Anyhow, we are aware of this problem and it will eventually get fixed,
but if you go the ERT way you will stay with it. If you go the
Paragraph-Center way, it will automaticaly get fixed. So it depends
on your aesthetics, and if it is a long lived document or not.

Could the answer be : It is wrong as long as the spacing is different 
whether you center or not ?

Depends :-)

Anyhow, we are aware of this problem and it will eventually get fixed,
but if you go the ERT way you will stay with it. If you go the
Paragraph->Center way, it will automaticaly get fixed. So it depends
on your aesthetics, and if it is a long lived document or not.

   End
..by pasting just about everything relevant that I could find in the LyX 
Customization Guide..  this gave me a nice long menu after I restarted 
lyx.. w/ all the accelerators..  and switching styles from this menu 
does work.. but then I realized what I had known all along - ie. that 
only some of the entries are valid for the current document class..  In 
other words I would need this menu to be dynamically gen'd to reflect 
only the valid styles for the selected document class..

I wonder if this is possible..?  I had tried using the keyword Layouts 
before this but lyx apprently only recognizes it in the toolbar 
section of the ui config  file..

Another annoying problem is that the accelerators (Alt_p-s for Standard 
- eg.) no longer work..!  Alt-p opens the menu.. but then I have to 
select the style by moving the up/down arrows and hitting enter when 
the desired entry is focused..  

So for now and since I couldn't altogether get rid of the toolbar anyway 
I may go back to that peculiar Layouts mini-window and make sure I 
memorize (most of..) the accelerators..

Does the qt GUI also have this feature..?  

All the same I still like the idea of having a menu rather than the 
mini-window..  and having the mini-buffer - or some status bar feature 
display the Paragraph style that is currently active..  Besides giving 
the GUI a simpler more homogeneous look  feel.. (?) the main reason is 
that  I never use a pointing device unless I have to..  and I haven't 
found a way to open the styles' mini-window from the keyboard.

If anyone has successfully set this up the way I tried/failed.. I would 
be interested in hearing from them..

Thanks for reading and all apologies for this lengthy post.

Well, if we had code for it, you could use OptItem. But we don't, so you
can't.
I always remove toolbars  icons because I don't use a mouse and I find 
most icon sets non-standard  rather confusing.. hence in my case at 
least.. counter-productive..  I'm probably not the only one who lacks 
intuition since a lot of apps (lyx included) have tooltips or balloons 
for those of us who're happy w/ the latin alphabet  who'd rather get on 
with using the app rather than solving riddles  ;-)  

Another less opinionated reason is that GUI's in X tend to come in so 
many different  colors, shapes,  sizes... that you end up w/ a desktop 
that looks rather untidy..  By choosing a spartan presentation where I 
can.. I end up with a more integrated  easier-to-manage look  feel.

Another annoying problem is that the accelerators (Alt_p-s for Standard 
- eg.) no longer work..!  Alt-p opens the menu.. but then I have to 
   

Add the accelerator by had, like this :

	Item Caption...|C layout Caption
 

thanks..! will try this rightaway..

Does the qt GUI also have this feature..?  
   

Which feature ?
 

the styles mini-window.. left of the toolbar.. in the xforms version.. 
it's something that takes a bit of getting used to..  somewhat like the 
panner in gv.. and some of the more ancient X GUIs..  I only use KDE 
apps occasionally and I've never seen anything quite like this 
mini-window..  actually I have a feeling that maybe opera has something 
a bit like it...

that  I never use a pointing device unless I have to..  and I haven't 
found a way to open the styles' mini-window from the keyboard.
   

M-p space
 

perfect.. I guess I'm trying to learn too fast and I just missed that one..

come to think of it I may stick w/ the default.ui (minus the icons).. 
because on second thoughts this mini-window as I call it..  is more 
of an improvement over a pull down menu since it provides the same 
capability but has the added value of serving as a mini status-bar w/ 
its contents visible at all times w/o having to open it..

I must say that I am so very happy with how customizable LyX is.. and 
how easy it is.. that I got carried away a bit w/ this..  But then 
that's probably the best way to RTFM..??

Thanks a bunch for precious advice..  and your patience w/ novices like 
meself..

It's a combo box, and exactly the same as the ones you get in KWord, MS
Word, etc.

Glad to help those who help themselves :)

Paragraphs?

/Christian

:-)  Well.. that was the easy part..  That's what named it for now.. 
Parts... Probably something like the more official Paragraph styles 
would make more sense..

I added this to the main description in ~/.lyx/ui/default.ui as:

Submenu Parts|P styles

and proceeded to create a lengthy styles menu:

#
# STYLES MENU
#
   Menu styles
   Item Abstract... layout Abstract
   Item Paragraph... layout Paragraph
   Item Itemize... layout Itemize
   Item LyX-Code... layout LyX-Code
   Item Description... layout Description

   Item Subsubsection... layout Subsubsection

   Item Section*... layout Section*
   Item Subsection*... layout Subsection*
   Item Subsubsection*... layout Subsubsection*

   Item Author... layout Author

   Item Date... layout Date
   Item Foilhead... layout Foilhead
   Item LaTeX... layout LaTeX
   Item Quotation... layout Quotation
   Item RightAddress... layout RightAddress
   Item Address... layout Address
   Item Caption... layout Caption
   End
..by pasting just about everything relevant that I could find in the LyX 
Customization Guide..  this gave me a nice long menu after I restarted 
lyx.. w/ all the accelerators..  and switching styles from this menu 
does work.. but then I realized what I had known all along - ie. that 
only some of the entries are valid for the current document class..  In 
other words I would need this menu to be dynamically gen'd to reflect 
only the valid styles for the selected document class..

I wonder if this is possible..?  I had tried using the keyword Layouts 
before this but lyx apprently only recognizes it in the toolbar 
section of the ui config  file..

Another annoying problem is that the accelerators (Alt_p-s for Standard 
- eg.) no longer work..!  Alt-p opens the menu.. but then I have to 
select the style by moving the up/down arrows and hitting enter when 
the desired entry is focused..  

So for now and since I couldn't altogether get rid of the toolbar anyway 
I may go back to that peculiar Layouts mini-window and make sure I 
memorize (most of..) the accelerators..

Does the qt GUI also have this feature..?  

All the same I still like the idea of having a menu rather than the 
mini-window..  and having the mini-buffer - or some status bar feature 
display the Paragraph style that is currently active..  Besides giving 
the GUI a simpler more homogeneous look  feel.. (?) the main reason is 
that  I never use a pointing device unless I have to..  and I haven't 
found a way to open the styles' mini-window from the keyboard.

If anyone has successfully set this up the way I tried/failed.. I would 
be interested in hearing from them..

Thanks for reading and all apologies for this lengthy post.

Chris.

You could submit it to bugzilla.lyx.org... or send it as a suggestion 
to the development list?

M-P space works for me... see menus.bind (the key is bound to the 
function: drop-layouts-choice)
