[Tex/LaTex] Changing default paragraph style in LyX

lyxparagraphs

I tried for couple hours changing Chapter, Paragraph…etc styles (especially font and it's color) in LyX, I managed to do that by modifying layout files (for example db_stdsections.inc) by simply adding:

Font
Color Green
End Font

Inside Style Paragraph did the job, and LyX displayed the green paragraphs, but for my surprise, converting it to PDF left it unchanged! It it still Black as usual, what I'm doing wrong?

P.S

I don't what to use local Style, I think it silly to mark text as paragraph environment and then also styling text to give him green color manually, I want both to be applied simultaneously, like in MS Word.

I think also that is more useful redefine the paragraph in the preamble or even in the body. Moreover it works with or without Lyx. I left anyway a MWE that I have made before of before seeing your comment.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\paragraph{
\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{0em}%
{-1.3\baselineskip}%
{0.3\baselineskip}%
{\normalfont\bfseries\color{red}}%
}%
\makeatother 

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}% numbered
\setcounter{tocdepth}{4}% in toc

\newcommand\PARA[1]{\paragraph{\textcolor{blue}{#1}}}


\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{Section}
\subsection{Subection}
\subsubsection{Sub-subsection}

\paragraph{Lore ipsum} \lipsum[4]

\renewcommand\theparagraph{\hspace{-3em}
\rlap{\textcolor{green}{\Roman{paragraph}.}}\hspace{2em}}

\paragraph{Sed commodo} \lipsum[2]
\PARA{Nulla malesuada} \lipsum[6]

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Create new paragraph style in LyX

in the file stdlayouts.inc you can copy the definition for quotation to a part called "myquotation". In the file stdlists you can see at the end how additional preamble commands can be made which are hided from the normal user. After changing your layout file run reconfigure and restart lyx, there should now be a "myquoation" in all styles which support this kind of environment.

Here is an example for an LyX environment MyQuotation

Style MyQuotation
    Category              MainText
    Margin                Static
    LatexType             Environment
    LatexName             myquotation
    NextNoIndent          1
    LeftMargin            MMM
    RightMargin           MMM
    ParIndent             MM
    ParSkip               0
    ItemSep               0
    TopSep                0.5
    BottomSep             0.5
    ParSep                0
    Align                 Block
    AlignPossible         Block, Left, Right, Center
    Preamble
    \usepackage{mdframed}
    \usepackage{xcolor}
    \newenvironment{myquotation}
      {\begin{mdframed}[linecolor=red]\quotation}
      {\endquotation\end{mdframed}}
    EndPreamble
End

insert it into the file stdlayouts.inc and save the file in your local .lyx/layouts/ directory (don't know how it shopuld be on windows). Then run reconfigure and you shouöld see the paagraph layout MyQuotation which then gives a framed output. alt text

[Tex/LaTex] New paragraph style

You can define new icons for bclogo just following the pattern shown on page 18 of the documentation:

\newcommand{\warninglogo}{\includegraphics[width=\logowidth]{warning.png}}

assuming that your logo is in warning.png; \logowidth is a length parameter that defaults to 17pt and can be changed by \setlength{\logowidth}{<length>}.

You can then use

\begin{bclogo}[<other settings>,logo=\warninglogo]{Title}
text
\end{bclogo}
