colorlyx
I am using Lyx and Layout report for my thesis.
I would like to change the colour of chapters sections and subsections (only the headings) from black to blue.
I attach a screenshot in order to understand what colours i am trying to achieve only on headings (Chapter /section and subsection )
Also is it possible to change the colour of table of contents to blue ? (again only the heading)
I found the solution: On preamble :
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{Blue}{rgb}{0.3,0.3,0.9}
and then i change colour with the command :
\color{Blue}
In ConTeXt mkii you need to specify \setupcolors[state=start]. If on the other hand, you are using ConTeXt mkiv, and want to specify a color for the margin, it must be set in the options of said margin, or else it will reset to default. So the margin is set with \setupinmargin[color=red]
The example that follows is with whatever color you want in the document, while keeping the page numbering color.
The second option, which I assume that based in your comment is what you want, will let you specify the color for the whole document.
The third option is with ConTeXt mkiv.
The fourth option is with ConTeXt mkiv in which the margin is set throughout the document by \setupinmargin[line=13]
The fifth example will show you that footnotes are also possible.
In the following, we will use ConTeXt mkii to set footnotes throughout the document. To do so, the footnotes must be enclosed within an environment which is set with the command \placelocalfootnotes or else the footnotes won't appear in the document.
The sixth example is also with ConTeXt mkii, in which the \color command will take over. This time around the \color is grouped within the footnote, while the footnote is set in the preamble of the document. The option state=start must be specified, as well as the color option for the margin.

You can use the package
sectstyto do change the headings, andxcolorto get the colour definitions.For example, add to your preamble (Document --> Settings --> LaTeX preamble) the following:
You can use colours predefined in
xcolor(see manual), or define your own, e.g.Put such definitions in the preamble as well.
