 I've just tried copying stdtoolbars.inc to ~/.lyx/ui/ and making a small 
 change (commenting out one of the items). It worked fine.

 I'd try starting with clean files, if you haven't already.

Could it have to do with the choice of ui flavour (classic, modern, ...)
or interface language?

Re: UserDir Ui settings NOT overriding LyXDir Ui setting

2012-01-03 Thread stefano franchi 
Richard: I tried erasing the ~/.lyx dir, but nothing changes, same
behavior. I forgot to mention that the default ui I get is with three
toolbars (Standard, View/Update, Extra), two of which, however, are
almost completely hidden (see picture below). So it looks like it's
some configuration problem, perhaps on Archlinux only.

Guenter: I am not sure about what you mean by UI flavour. Is it the
choice of Default Classic, and Oxygen in ToolsPreferences
Look and Feel User interface? I tried selecting either classic or
oxygen but nothing seems to change.

Cheers,

Stefano

Could it have to do with the choice of ui "flavour" (classic, modern, ...)
or interface language?
