Not at all. You just need to put lines like this in your lyxrc file. (In
$HOME/.lyx/lyxrc. If this file doesn't exist, copy lyxrc.example from the
system lyxdir/lib.)
# To change the colors for footnotes:
\set_color footnote green
# for mathed you may also want to change the coloring of lines and brackets:
\set_color math yellow
\set_color mathlines yellow
Currently, it's not very easy to get hold of names of LyX variables that can
be altered. The stuff below is cut out of LColor.C. You are looking for the
1st and 4th items; ie, the identifying LyX name and the X11 colour name.
A list of all available X11 colour names can be found in /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
Note that not all of the LyX names "background", "foreground" etc are
currently used as this is code that is in need of a clean up. Try it and see.
We hope that things will change soon and that the user will be able to assign
these things easily from within LyX.
Good luck,
Angus
