Sorry, Playing more with this problem, I have just discovered that the settings dialog box is not closed, but it is hidden behind the main LyX Window as soon as I click the OK button of the color selection dialog. Since it was just disappearing at the same time as the color dialog box, I was wrongly assuming that it was also closed.
This is strange anyway, I think. Since the setting dialog box is initially visible behind the Colors dialog box, it should remain there when we click the Ok button, and not get hidden behind the main window. I use the OSX (El Capitan 10.11.06 in French) version of Lyx. I have forgotten to give this information in my initial mail. Sorry for my initial confusion and thank you very much for your magnificent efforts. 2016-08-29 11:11 GMT+02:00 Murat Yildizoglu <murat.yildizo...@u-bordeaux.fr> : > Hi, > > I have installed the last version of Lyx, and then wanted to change the > background color setting in the preferences.
