> i would like to suggest to change lyx's default background color to white for 1.6 No. We have discussed this so often in the past. We use for good reason not white. Black/white tires your eyes more than using black/light yellow that we use. In a lecture at the University I also heard that this was the result of medical studies. Personally, that is also my experience. Besides this, we also already discussed the whole coloring scheme in early summer this year and decided to use the current one. regards Uwe

The current color does not fit to the logo. Is it possible to change this color by the dialog or should we say "you must use the color of your desktop settings"? -- -- Peter Kümmel

I think we should let the widgets chose the DE's style. Jürgen

If your OS window style is blue, then you are right, but we should then better draw a thin black line around the "L" to improve the situation. But I must admit that a blue L was not the best choice as blue is the default window style on Windows. Who designed the new logo? Please ask him to modify it a bit to make it better visible. > Is it possible to change this color by the dialog or should we > say "you must use the color of your desktop settings"? Currently not but you have my OK to implement this. Generally we should not use our own window style setting by default. LyX is an application like any other and e.g. on Windows I don't know any application that does actively/by default set another window style than the default Windows wide one. regards Uwe
