Yes, but not in a simple way.

LyX uses the latex package color, which supports an unlimited amount of 
colors. To use more than LyX offers, you will either need to add some
latex code to your document, or create a new module that defines more 
colors through similiar commands.

Re: cross-referencing between files

2011-08-19 Thread Rudi Gaelzer
You mean, you're working with a child document only, without opening the master?
I'd think this should work...

I use Richard's suggestion of loading the xr package when the cross-reference 
happens with unrelated 
documents, i. e., outside a master-child structure.  In this case, I have to 
generate and keep the *.aux 
file of the documents for the xr package to be able to pick up the labels.

 attempts consisted of having a master lyx file which includes
 (Insert-File-Child document, include type=include) two other lyx files.
 Then I try to refer to a label in one file from the other. This works as
 long as I'm building the whole document, i.e. the master. If I try to
 build only one of them it does not work, I get the double question mark
 (??)... The goal is the writing of a paper which has supplementary
 material which needs referring. But besides the cross-referencing the two
 documents should be pretty much independent (indep. page numbering,
 titles, etc..) so I need to build them separately.
 
 Thanks.

What happenens if you do File - New From Template ?

My templates are living in

~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0/templates

and

/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates

You can easily copy from the latter into the former :-)-O
