Dear all, Currently LyX has 'Box (Minipage, shaded background)' and 'Box (Minipage, simple frame)', but NOT 'Box (Minipage, shaded background, simple frame)'.
This can be done easily using a construct described on the wiki ( http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/ShadedBox ): \usepackage{calc} \newenvironment{shadedbox}[1][]% { %\setlength{\fboxsep}{-\fboxrule} \footnotesize\normalfont\ttfamily\raggedright \setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin} \setlength{\itemsep}{-12pt} \setlength{\parsep}{20pt} \begin{lrbox}{\@tempboxa}% \begin{minipage}{\linewidth-2\fboxsep} }% { \end{minipage}% \end{lrbox}% \fcolorbox{black}{shadecolor}{\usebox{\@tempboxa}}\newline\newline }% Should LyX support this construct natively?
