Hi there, I am a big fan of Lyx. But I often find it requires too many clicks to make a sentence red in color. There is neither a function to set font color that I can set through keyboard shortcut. I think a color palette that is commonly used in office software can be useful.
A relevant suggestion: under the toolbar->font, there is already bold, italic, etc., but their effects are not visualized on the button, which in my opinion can be of great convenience (of course I can use keyboard shortcut for this, but...). Similar things should be useful also for font family, series, shape, size, etc. I am not sure if am posting in the right mailing list (should I post it in lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org even when I am not a developer?) so excuse me if I should post somewhere else. --Liang
