Hi, have a problem with the current color behaviour. If I want to define a color in the LaTeX-preamble with \definecolor and use it for text with \textcolor, I have to load the package color manually with a separate preamble-line. But LyX loads the color package automatically when using colored text with the predefined colors. The problem occurs when I have a colored text with a predefined color and with the self-defined color. In this case the package color is loaded twice. This causes no LaTeX errors but is quite ugly. If I delete in this case the \usepackage command and delete the colored text later, the package is no more loaded. If I want to produce a correct file I have to think everytime at the package-loading.
So wouldn't it be better to load the package color automatically when \definecolor or a predefined color is used. Another solution is to load it everytime. Color is part of every standard LaTeX-installation so that this shouldn't produce problems. regards Uwe example for the double loading: %% LyX 1.3 created this file.
