That'd go too far for my taste. I'd like the insets to be clearly distinguished from the main text (and another font/color is not enough for my taste). Bo's approach is already close to the limits, but I think I might get used to that. I don't want to have things that are _not_ main text integrated in the main text (one of the main reasons why I prefer LyX over proper LaTeX editors). Jürgen
