Ah, that's this issue. We discussed this already. I remember you
mentioned some signal that is emitted on the Mac when the switch
happens and that you intended to investigate how dark mode in LyX can
be connected to this signal.

An FYI: I've run into weird behavior when I build versus when I download,
which appears to be the result of some bits of Python's Qt infrastructure
getting caught in my build process.   I wonder if that could be one of the
fishy components?

Thanks, Joel. Seems rather unlikely in this case, as Python is not
involved in the icons transformation.

What really puzzles me is that some icons are right and some not in
Stephan's screenshot (as they all are subject to the very same
process).

In LyX 2.3.x, you'd need to provide modified icons (with black color
changed to white).

In LyX 2.4.x, this will work out of the box:

Changing the background color in math menus

[Gilles Falquet]

Does anyone know if it's possible to modify the background color of the math 
toolbars and menus? On my Mac, in dark appearance, the icons appear in black on 
(very) dark grey, which is almost illegible. Apparently it's not possible from 
the Preferences > Look & Feel > Colors.

Thanks in advance

If you want a background colour to apply to certain paragraphs, on LyX it's
possible to define a paragraph style that apply the mdframe package. Go to
Document → Settings → Local format and add something like this (I'm using
2.3 here, if you're still on 2.2.x write "Format 60" instead)

Format 66


Style MyQuotation

Category MainText

Margin Static

LatexType Environment

LatexName myquotation

NextNoIndent 1

LeftMargin MMM

RightMargin MMM

ParIndent MM

ParSkip 0

ItemSep 0

TopSep 0.5

BottomSep 0.5

ParSep 0

Align Block

AlignPossible Block, Left, Right, Center

Preamble

\usepackage{mdframed}

\usepackage{xcolor}

\newenvironment{myquotation}

{\begin{mdframed}[

backgroundcolor=lightgray,

linecolor=lightgray

]\quotation}

{\endquotation\end{mdframed}}

EndPreamble

End

Validate, convert to the new format if necessary and now you'll have a new
paragraph environment called "MyQuotation" with some indents and light grey
background and borders.

[Got the idea from here

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6851/create-new-paragraph-style-in-lyx#7471

I'd just converted the example to a Local Format]

Re: Background color in a paragraph

[Mario D]

I tried box with colored background but they don't work properly if the
text is more than one line long as in this case the line is not wrapped
around.
It is possible to get this, but it is not straightforward.

Given that I do not use the feature quite often, the hack I proposed is
fine for me.

Yet, I think it is a feature that would be nice to have natively.

RE: Background color in a paragraph

[Bernt Lie]

A couple of years ago, I tried to use Insert/Box/... with colored background. I 
wanted to have greyed background for Examples. Didn’t work well... if I 
included floating objects (Figures, Tables, etc.), the preview got messed up. 
Maybe it works better with floats in ordinary paragraphs – I haven’t tested 
that.

But if you have simple paragraphs, that might work.

Is there a simple way in lyx to change the background color of some text, maybe 
a paragraph?
I have not been able to find a way to do this natively: the only way I could 
obtain it is by using the "soul" package, then inserting the latex code "\hl{"

Oh, I got confused. There is "inset frame" and "collapsable inset frame" 
(shouldn't it be "collapsible"?). Only the latter changes the color of 
the frames I have in mind. I have no idea what the former does. And 
there is apparently no "collapsable inset background". I don't know why.

This would be difficult because our file format changes with every major

We are also using XWiki at my work and I managed to create wiki files by 
exporting LyX files as HTML (via eLyXer) and then import the result to 
XWiki. But in most cases I simply attach the PDF created with LyX to the 
Wiki page in XWiki. We found out that this is often the best solution

I get the point, but even though if in a first time XWiki is not capable

I don't know how much eLyXer can help you, but it is multiplatform: it
has been reported to work on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In fact it
should work on any platform where Python 2.5 is available (0.98 does
not support Python 2.4 due to a bug, already solved for 0.99).

I don't know how much eLyXer can help you, but it is multiplatform: it
has been reported to work on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In fact it
should work on any platform where Python 2.5 is available (0.98 does
not support Python 2.4 due to a bug, already solved for 0.99).

Some people have used eLyXer's core classes as a processing framework
for LyX files; maybe you could explore this path too. Although I don't
know anything right now about XWiki, I would be happy to assist in any
such efforts.

Alex.

eLyXer is available for all platform since it is a Python script:

Hi!

Running a LyX 2.0.0 alpha 3 release on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.8.

As far as I know and found in the documentation I can change the 
background color of a, for instance, simple frame I must go to LyX  
Preferences  Look  Feel  Colors and select and change the option for 
shaded text.


I'm not able to find this option in this installation. Please, could you 
help me? Thanks!!


Best,

Ricardo

How do I change the background color of a LyX header/headline/whatchamacallit?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

When I do this:

\setbeamercolor{headline}{fg=blue,bg=red}
\setbeamertemplate{headline}[text line]{I love that dirty water}

Indeed the header says I love that dirty water in blue type, but the 
background remains white. How do I turn the header's background red?

I'm looking for a LaTeX solution, and I've been RTFWing for a couple hours to 
no avail. 

Another thing I can't find on the web is a list of elements to which 
\setbeamercolor can be applied. I know of headline, normal text, footline, 
title, frametitle, but there must be plenty more and I can't find them. Can 
anyone point me to a complete or semicomplete list?

Thanks

Your code was almost exactly what I wanted, but it left white spaces at the

fact, I found this:

\setbeamercolor{headline}{fg=blue,bg=red}
\setbeamertemplate{headline}[text line]{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=\paperwidth,ht=.3cm, dp=.2cm, 
leftskip=.5cm,rightskip=.3cm,vskip=0.2cm]{headline}%
I love that dirty water%
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
}

So what I did was add wd=\paperwidth to close the white spaces, ht=.3cm and 
dp=.2cm to define the header height and how far down the writing starts, and 
leftskip and rightskip so the writing doesn't start right at the edge of the 
paper. This gave me exactly what I wanted.

I searched for hours to try to find this, and you gave it to me in 1 minute.

Your code was almost exactly what I wanted, but it left white spaces at the 
slide's margins. So, armed with the fact that beamercolorbox was the operant 
fact, I found this:

\setbeamercolor{headline}{fg=blue,bg=red}
\setbeamertemplate{headline}[text line]{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=\paperwidth,ht=.3cm, dp=.2cm, 
leftskip=.5cm,rightskip=.3cm,vskip=0.2cm]{headline}%
I love that dirty water%
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
}

So what I did was add wd=\paperwidth to close the white spaces, ht=.3cm and 
dp=.2cm to define the header height and how far down the writing starts, and 
leftskip and rightskip so the writing doesn't start right at the edge of the

Re: Fwd: Background color for sections or subsection

[Uwe Stöhr]

pierre delaunoy schrieb:

In fact, I only want to have a background color for the title of section 
or for the title of a subsection. Sorry for the misunderstanding


In the file attached, is it possible to have 1.1 Programme 0 - 
Subsistance administration - Enseignement et recherche with a 
background color and 1.1.1 AB 12.01.02 - Dépenses permanentes pour 
achats de biens non durables et de services with another one ?


This is possible. But every section in your document should have the 
same color to get a readable book.
(Personally, I don't think it is a good idea to change the background 
color. If colors are really necessary, then better change the color of 
the text.)


I attached a LyX file where I colored the background of all section 
headings and the text color of all subsection headings.


Some further hints for writing a book:

- Better use the book (KOMA-script) or memoir document class. These 
classes provide much more featues than the default book class. For 
example automatic print space calculation, title page formatting, 
binding correction, etc.
(The LyX UserGuide is an example how the power of KOMA-script is uses - 
look at its document settings.)


- If possible, use short titles for all section headings that are 
running in the PDF-output over more than one line. Otherwise the table 
of contents and the PDF bookmarks would become unreadable.


- Don't overuse colors and horizontal lines. Good books use both very 
rarely.

In the file attached, is it possible to have 1.1 Programme 0 -

background color and 1.1.1 AB 12.01.02 - Dépenses permanentes pour 
achats de biens non durables et de services with another one ?


This is possible. But every section in your document should have the 
same color to get a readable book.
(Personally, I don't think it is a good idea to change the background 
color. If colors are really necessary, then better change the color of 
the text.)


I attached a LyX file where I colored the background of all section 
headings and the text color of all subsection headings.


Some further hints for writing a book:

- Better use the book (KOMA-script) or memoir document class. These 
classes provide much more featues than the default book class. For 
example automatic print space calculation, title page formatting, 
binding correction, etc.
(The LyX UserGuide is an example how the power of KOMA-script is uses - 
look at its document settings.)


- If possible, use short titles for all section headings that are 
running in the PDF-output over more than one line. Otherwise the table 
of contents and the PDF bookmarks would become unreadable.


- Don't overuse colors and horizontal lines. Good books use both very 
rarely.

Background color for sections or subsection

[Pierre Delaunoy]

Hello

Does anyone know how to set a background color (i.e. lightgray) for a section 
or a subsection so that it appears also in the output PDF ?

I have tried \colorbox and it works for standard text (paragraphs) but not for 
sections.

Thanks

To achieve this, you must assure that the section that should be colored
starts on a new page. This can be done by adding a page break in front
of the section.
Right after the linebreak and before the section, add this command as
TeX-code

\pagecolor{color}

where color is the color you want.
Finally add this to your document preamble:

\...@ifundefined{textcolor}
{\usepackage{color}}{}

How to define your own color is explained in the EnbeddedObjects manual,
sec. 2.11 Colored Tables.

I sent you an example LyX file in private mail (too big for this mailing list).

The following works in LyX 1.5.x; not sure about 1.4.x.

1.  Add \usepackage{xcolor} to the preamble.

2.  Select your paragraphs and then Insert - Box to put them in a 
minipage.


3.  Right-click the handle of the minipage and adjust the settings. 
You want minipage for the box type, and no frame decoration (it's coming 
later).  You'll probably want to adjust the box width to conform to the 
surrounding margins.


4.  If the left side of the box is not where you want it, put the cursor 
just before the box handle and use the paragraph settings button to 
toggle indent on or off (whichever you need).


5.  If you are indenting paragraphs, insert the following in ERT as the 
first bit of the box content:  \setlength{\parindent}{3ex}.  (Adjust 
the indentation amount to taste.)  LaTeX apparently zeros out the 
paragraph indentation inside a minipage.


6.  Place the following in ERT just before the box: 
\fcolorbox{black}{cyan}{.  The first color is the frame color, the 
second is the background color (again, adjust to taste).  Put } in ERT 
just after the box.


The box will be treated as an indivisible block (if any of it trails 
over to the next page, the whole box will move).

Paul
