Do you report on LyX 2.3.7 or 2.4 beta3 ?

Looks like this email got a bit of activity on that bug. I'd suggest
continuing discussion there.

Ticket #5636 toolbar icons with dark theme

[Ricardo Berlasso]

Hello, LyX community!

I'm using a dark theme in my Plasma desktop, and found myself in the
problem reported in Ticket #5636

https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/5636

In short: all icons in the math editor toolbars are dark in dark and
therefore it's really difficult to use them. I know the ticket is quite old
and that there is no solution yet, but anyone have any workaround for it? I
mean, other than switching desktop theme, of course ;)

Hi,

I have figured out how to put default.ui into

~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.3/ui

and to modify it so that the View/Update and the VCS
toolbar are on by default and on the left side.  Very cool :-)-O

How do I make the Icon Size small as a default, which I usually do with
Right-Click into a Toolbar?


I see in the code that if you have an icon named "iconsize.png", then 
its size will be used as 'normal" size. But we do not try to query the 
Style for this value.

Not permanent, but this will work:
  lyx -x "icon-size small"

A more long-term solution, since we have so-called "commands" that can 
contin a list og things to run, would be to say that some special 
commands like "on-startup" or "on-newfile" would be run autotomatically 
on these events if they exist.


Would that solve your issue?

However, the problem you are seeing shows that configuration of toolbars 
is a mess currently. Different settings are in different places for no 
real reason IMO.


Finally, I wonder whether we try to inherit the icon size from the OS...

On my Linux Mint system, the icon size is stored in ~/.config/LyX, which 
is overwritten each time you exit LyX. So you might need to start LyX 
with a custom command that invokes the icon-size LFUN to set the icon 
size you want.

Hi Udi,

If you right click on a non-greyed-out icon, can you select a larger
size? Does that work for you?

Do you have a HiDPI monitor?

Hopefully we should figure this issue out. But if it does come to this
you should consider LyX 2.1.5 instead of 2.1.4.

You're welcome, Wolfgang. For what it's worth, I use Liv Andronic's Ubuntu
PPA (linked in the binaries section of the LyX download page) to stay
current on Mint. I'm not aware of any equivalent sites for Debian, but there
is a site (https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA) claiming it's easy
to convert an Ubuntu package to a Debian package. I'm just mentioning it in
case you're interested.

It would be nice if a Debian user would take it upon himself/herself to make
Debian versions of Liv's packages. Unfortunately, I can't, since I don't
have Debian installed. (Mint is based on Ubuntu.)

Cheers,
Paul

I'd be careful with that; it might remove the wrong version (or nothing). If

installed packages containing 'lyx' in the their name, and see if you can
identify the "latestdev" version. If so, you can mark it for deletion. If

Scroll down to the "Version:" line and see if it is indicating

different version, try "dpkg-query -l lyx-latestdev" to see if it's instaled

lyx 2.2.0 icons and mac retina

[Stephen G. Buonopane]

I have been upgraded to a new retina mac book pro which I also use with an 
external, non-retina display. 
With Lyx 2.2.0 the icons rescale when I move LyX between the retina and 
non-retina displays.If I set them to normal on the retina display, they become 
tiny on the external monitor. 

With LyX 2.1.4, the icons stayed the same size (but could be switched manually).

Is there anyway to turn off the auto rescaling in LyX 2.2.0?

Thanks
Steve

You'll probably have trouble installing any package, not just LyX.
Something went amiss with the libreoffice builds. Either remove the
offending packages, or try to update 'apt' and then upgrade the
package (assuming updates are available).

I don't know what I had running but I did a shut-down before going shopping
and after a reboot and something is happening. Thanks

 My problem is that I removed libreOffice to install Apache OpenOffice so I
don't really under stand what the output is telling me. Why would a removal
of LyX depend on some missing LibreOfice files?

This happens if at the same time some other package management tool is 
running and holds a lock on the database. Assuming that you don't do that 
yourself, the most likely reason is an automatic 'apt-get update' running in 
the background from cron. You would see the process in the output of

ps -axu | grep root

and usually it would not take long to be finished, so you could try again.

Somehow I was expecting something a bit more dramatic.

Synaptic is reporting 0 broken packages.

What would you think of burning a new CD of Ubuntu 16.04 and doing a new
clean install?

Re: Icons in Lyx

[UD]

  
  
I take it back and apologize-- I have tried to click on the icons in
the bottom toolbar, which did nothing, but after reading the
latest response I right-clicked on the NewDocument icon, and sure
enough-- I chose giant size, and my icons are now visible.  Thanks a
lot for your help and patience.

Re: Missing icons after upgrading to LyX 2.2.0

[John Kane]

I was tired and hungary when I did it, and while I remember using a
terminal command, I have not the slightest memeory of how I did it.

Exactly how would I check?

So far this morning I have tried something like
apt-cache showpkg qt4  (& qt4.5, 4.6 and so on ) and get nothing


 apt-cache showpkg qt5.6 gets a hit even though I thought I'd removed it.

I read the Release Notes and originally thought that installing qt5.6 would
be a good idea and then read what seemed to be some caveats  that seemed to
suggest that installing qt5.6 after installing LyX2.2.0 might cause
problems. So I thought I'd better get rid of it.

A quick look at /usr/share/  shows I have both qt4 and qt5 (apparently
qt5.6 since that is the folder label and the name I used in the apt-get
install command

I am not exacty Linux fluent. (I possibly speak pidgin Linux?) Can someone
provide detailed instructions or a pointer to a decent cheatsheet that
would show me how to figure out what version of qt LyX is using please?

Thanks for all the help and support.

You got it Kornel.

I installed libqt4-svg and I have my icons.

Slightly weird set of colours on the splash screen but I can live with that.

My thanks to both of you for the help and advice.

The PPA packages are built against 4.8. Qt 4.5 seems like non-standard
for Ubuntu 16.04.

John, you are on Ubuntu 16.04 and you have Qt 4.5? How did you do that?
Why do you think your Qt version is 4.5? Does LyX tell you that or
apt-cache policy?

I hope we can figure this out for you,

4.5 is really old, and although LyX should work with it in principle it is 
not well tested. Somehow I cannot believe that the ppa contains packages for 
such an old version, but Liviu will know more.

On ubuntu you would have to install package "libqt4-svg" too. Something 
appropriate on your system should do.

I installedl from what I believe is a prepackaged binary from Liviu
Andronic's  stable PPA <https://launchpad.net/%7Elyx-devel/+archive/release>
which I have used before.

My installed version of qt is qt4.5 which if I am reading the release notes
correctly should be okay.

LyX 2.2.0 requires a qt with SVG support compiled in (as mentioned in 
RELEASE_NOTES). This looks like your qt does not have proper SVG support. 
Which qt version are you using? Did you compile from source or install some 
prepackaged binary?

  In Windows 7 it is “C:\Program Files\Lyx2.1\Resources\ui”. Simple eh?

 What I want to do is get rid of most on the icons on the task bars. Instead

 gone.

You probably want to take /usr/share/lyx/ui/stdtoolbars.inc (wherever
that might be on Windows), copy it to ~/.lyx/ui, and comment out the
items that are not of use to you.

 I remember that it was possible to comment them out in one of the LyX files
 but I cannot find the one I need. I don't use most of the icons  regularly
 and it is just as easy to use a menu and not have to put up with all the
 distracting icons.

 I would also like to have the formatting window ( retangular box in upper
 left corner used to assign the various environments such as Title or
 Section, etc.,  and the revised icons appear when I am working in
 full-screen mode.  I probably can figure that out (well maybe.

 Not to worry about the backups.  My general paranoia ensures backups of
 anything valueable (well except LyX settings, obviously).

  Windows 7 OS rather than sticking with my normal Ubuntu 14.04 (sob) and
  I am
  trying to get things to look as normal as possible in Windows.
  About three or four years ago I did a bit of customizing of the LyZ
  appearance. I had counted the number of icons on the two task bars and
  came
  up with 55 icons. I don't normally use more than 6-8 regularly and so I
  decided to remove most of the icons. I also added the newly edited task
  bar
  to the full-screen (F11) LyX appearance and adjusted the text width. As
  I
  dimly remember it was tedious and a bit picky but not very difficult,
  I could have sworn I did my editing in one or more files in the ui
  folder
  but I cannot seem to find the the same things I thought I had
  remembered. Am
  I just not reading the files correctly or am I in the wrong place? If
  so,
  where would I look. Googling does not seem to bring up whatever I found
  last
  time and, if it is in the manuals, I have failed to find it.
  For that matter, if the edits are in the ui folder or wherever, could I
  just
  copy them from my damaged machine and paste them into LyX on Windows? It
  is
  still operational (with care) and I have not sent it off for repairs
  yet.
 
 Unsolicited advice: BEFORE you send it to anywhere else for any sort
 of repairs, DO A BACKUP. I've seen people lose months of work by
 sending the laptop to customer service, who blissfully replaced the
 harddrive.

 On Linux, the the config should be in ~/.lyx/ui . If not, then check
 if maybe you made the changes in /usr/share/lyx/ui/ (as root).

 It's a bit unclear though what config changes do you want to keep.

Re: Edit taskbar, removing some icons

[John Kane]

Ah, thanks Andrew I would have missed that.  I may have made notes on how I
did this before but it was too long ago to remember where the notes might
be let alone what I did.

BTW your (?) link for the short-inset-names.module in the LyX wiki is
returning an error.

I finally copied it from my Ubuntu installation.
It is an essential module.

Edit taskbar, removing some icons

[John Kane]

 Due to a nasty mechanical problem with my normal computer I am having to
haul an older laptop out of retirement for a while while repairs or a
replacement for the main machine is decided upon.
Unfortunately this means installing a lot of software on a relatively new
Windows 7 OS rather than sticking with my normal Ubuntu 14.04 (sob) and I
am trying to get things to look as normal as possible in Windows.
About three or four years ago I did a bit of customizing of the LyZ
appearance. I had counted the number of icons on the two task bars and came
up with 55 icons. I don't normally use more than 6-8 regularly and so I
decided to remove most of the icons. I also added the newly edited task bar
to the full-screen (F11) LyX appearance and adjusted the text width. As I
dimly remember it was tedious and a bit picky but not very difficult,
I could have sworn I did my editing in one or more files in the ui folder
but I cannot seem to find the the same things I thought I had remembered.
Am I just not reading the files correctly or am I in the wrong place? If
so, where would I look. Googling does not seem to bring up whatever I found
last time and, if it is in the manuals, I have failed to find it.
For that matter, if the edits are in the ui folder or wherever, could I
just copy them from my damaged machine and paste them into LyX on Windows?
It is still operational (with care) and I have not sent it off for repairs
yet. Both machines are running LyX 2.1.3.
Pointers and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Unsolicited advice: BEFORE you send it to anywhere else for any sort
of repairs, DO A BACKUP. I've seen people lose months of work by
sending the laptop to customer service, who blissfully replaced the
harddrive.

On Linux, the the config should be in ~/.lyx/ui . If not, then check
if maybe you made the changes in /usr/share/lyx/ui/ (as root).

It's a bit unclear though what config changes do you want to keep.

 I remember that it was possible to comment them out in one of the LyX files
 but I cannot find the one I need. I don't use most of the icons  regularly
 and it is just as easy to use a menu and not have to put up with all the
 distracting icons.

 I would also like to have the formatting window ( retangular box in upper
 left corner used to assign the various environments such as Title or
 Section, etc.,  and the revised icons appear when I am working in
 full-screen mode.  I probably can figure that out (well maybe.

 Not to worry about the backups.  My general paranoia ensures backups of
 anything valueable (well except LyX settings, obviously).

  In Windows 7 it is “C:\Program Files\Lyx2.1\Resources\ui”. Simple eh?

What I want to do is get rid of most on the icons on the task bars. Instead
of 55 icons I want about 7 or 8. See attachment: I want most of those icons
gone.


You probably want to take /usr/share/lyx/ui/stdtoolbars.inc (wherever
that might be on Windows), copy it to ~/.lyx/ui, and comment out the
items that are not of use to you.

On windows 7, assuming your user name is John, the modified toolbar (but 
still called stdtoolbars.inc) would be put in


C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.1\ui\

Re: Edit taskbar, removing some icons

[John Kane]

Ah, thanks Andrew I would have missed that.  I may have made notes on how I
did this before but it was too long ago to remember where the notes might
be let alone what I did.

BTW your (?) link for the short-inset-names.module in the LyX wiki is
returning an error.

I finally copied it from my Ubuntu installation.
It is an essential module.

Editing Tool Bar Icons

[Rich Shepard]

  I hesitate to bring this up to the list because I don't like to
micromanage the application, typography, or page layouts. I leave that to
the experts. (About a dozen years ago I spent a lot of time trying to
install Type1 fonts in LaTeX, but gave up when I realized 1) I was wasting
time better spent using the tool and 2) Palatino is a perfectly fine body
text typeface.)

  However, ... there are a couple of icons I regularly use (such as the
footnote insertion pictograph) that don't appear because despite the LyX
window size in my 20 LCD wide screen monitor, there's not sufficient room
for them. At the same time, there are some icons I never use (Save, Print,
Open) and I'd like to either delete them or change their positions with the
icons I use more frequently.

  In ~/.lyx/ui/classic.ui I find the menus. Where can I find the contents of
the toolbars so I can mess them up from the order set by the developers?
