Thanks for your help ! I could not find a problem by doing exactly what Angus described. May be of diffrent versions / configurations ? I am using the xform version 1.2.x supplied with SuSE 8.1.
Had some problems with the installation of thr Qt based version binaries. It could not find the libqt.so.3. There is only a libqt-mt.so.3.05. Linking to that one does not work. But I am happy with what I have so far :-) Thnka Reinhard James Frye wrote: > On Fri, 21 Feb 2003, Reinhard Thies wrote: > > > I am a visually impaired user and I am one off the approx. 85 % of this > > group, which need to work with a dark background and white text color. > > This is inverse to the way it is done normally. > > Is it easy to implement a mode into Lyx providing this feature ? > > Reinhard, > > I have just been working through the same problem myself.
