I'm

white
as
a

myself,
I

Eh...
what
would
this
result
in
for
most
users?
(I'm

Would it be worth having a "quick default setup" phase to using LyX, upon
first running it? For example, there could be a popup window which displays a
sample LyX window, with a color-picker to choose the user's default background
color, and some text such as "Choose the default background color of your LyX
editing window here. This may be changed at any time via the Tools -->
Preferences --> Look and Feel --> Colors menu."
Such a method could be used to choose the user's accustomed paper size, and
a few other options. However, it would be nice to be able to skip this setup
phase, too. Perhaps people will think it's too annoying or intrusive.
C.O.
