To be honest, if you want something to look "just so", then surely you're better off just taking the little bit of extra initial setup time and learning LaTeX itself? As I understood it the big selling point of LyX is that it's the power and nice features of LaTeX, offset by less easy customization. Sounds to me like you need proper LaTeX.
