Lyx color schemes and beamer class

2011-09-23 Thread Ibot 
Hi all,

currently i'm trying to figure out how to change the lyx-editor-font-color
for the frame title when i use
the beamer-class.

In my case (lyx 2.0.1, ubuntu 10.04, dark-looks gnome-color-theme) this
color is blue
and i can't find the appropriate label under preference-lookfeel-colors to
change this color.

Does anyone know the appropriate label so that I maybe can assign via the
.lyx/preferences file
and the set_color command a different color for this particular element.

many thanks

You have to change the beamer.layout file. In the Style BeginFrame layout 
definition, change

Font
Series Bold
Size   Largest
Color  Blue
EndFont

to whatever you need.

For single documents, you can also paste something like

Style BeginFrame
  Font
Series Bold
Size   Largest
Color  Green
  EndFont
End

to Document  Seetings  Local Format, hit Validate and Apply.

HTH,
Jürgen

You do have to be cautious about this, since an upgrade to a newer 
version of LyX will overwrite your changes.  Be sure at least to make a 
copy of any changes in any layout file.  Upgrades in most schemes will 
look for local changes in a configuration file and warn you before 
overwriting them, but not for basic system files such as this.


Can this be done in the user's preferences?

Well, of course, the changed layout is to be put in the user directory, which 
will not be overriden (as opposed to the system directory).

Thank you,

this solved the problem. But I think this is very hard to be figured out
by an average user. I hope that using lyx color schemes will be somehow
easier/transparent in the future.

Many thanks and a nice weekend
