Sorry, I don't know how to do that. After launching "git gui" I select Branch->Checkout but I cannot find any str-metrics branch there. I initially tried to learn git but then gave up. I am more proficient with applying and removing patches than messing with git branches. Every time I tried the "git way" I found myself spending time in solving problems that I would not have had. > >I like very much the way LyX shows a selection in contrast to any other > >similar application, but if this is going to cause problems (I don't > >know what you mean by "all selection lose color" but, if it is what I > >think, it actually is what I experience when I try 'Use system colors') > >I am not going to insist... so much ;) > > When one selects in LyX; no matter whether there is changed text, > maths, or whatever, suddenly all the text changes to black (or > white). I find that this is a loss of information. But the text is already black, right? ;) > Actually I think I have found a way to keep our ugly selection > colors and avoid dancing text.

Seriously, I don't want to waste your time if that is so difficult, but you would have all my appreciation if you succeed ;) -- Enrico
