Hi, I'm using a 21" screen and a 14" laptop for LyX.
I keep having to change the font zoom from the Edit/Preferences/Screen-Fonts menu when I go from one monitor to the other.
Is there a way to specify a per-$DISPLAY value here?
If there is an X resource for it then I can xrdb
merge it; or I can if LyX will not overrule that with
the preference-specified value.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
There is no direct support, but workarounds are possible.
The setting \screen_zoom is stored in .lyx/preferences
So, you can keep two such preference files and have scripts called lyx14 and lyx21 that copies one or the other into .lyx/preferences before starting lyx.
Of course this solution makes changing any other preferences more difficult, as you have to update the two other files afterwards. A better option is to write a script that modifies the \screen_zoom setting in .lyx/preferences directly before starting lyx. This script may be a little harder to write though.
