I'm new to LyX. It seems to be really appropriate for the work I'm doing but I have these questions pertaining to the graphical user interface. Of course I'm aware that the output is radically different from what is shown in the GUI - my questions have to do with the comfort of the interface as i write:

  • Is there a way to make the margins wider in the GUI? I find that screen-wide text blocks aren't easy on the eye. Of course I can resize the window but that gives my a pretty messy work environment with my desktop or other programs in the background - also this wouldn't work when I'm in full-screen mode.
  • Is there a way to have left text alignment (instead of straight margins) in the LyX GUI? I don't like the spacing to be stretched when I'm in the process of editing text.

I use Lyx a lot and the bad news is that I have never been able to do what your asking. It is what it is. My understanding is that any Gui changes that are possible are driven from "Preferences" in the main menu. – Stephen Myall Oct 22 '12 at 12:55
