Alternative Icons

see also LyX Logos

Application Icon

If you're fed up with the Lo-Fi application icon shipped with LyX, here are some alternative ones (in a kind of crystal look, known from kde).

(grab icon tarball)

Two of the three variants are taken from gentoo, one (the green) has been done from scratch. Cf. the README file for details.

Here is some initial work of a polishment of the old LyX application icon:

If you feel like improving it, grab the SVG sources.

Another LyX application icon has been posted to kde-look.org

Evolution Icons

These icons are manipulations of the etiquette-theme by Andy Fitzsimon.

Enclosed in the .tar.gz file are two .svg files and two exports (subsequently touched up a little with the gimp) of these .svg files to .png, one using 16 colors only and the other using 256 colors.

Toolbar Icons

Reinhard Stepanek has created alternative toolbar icons (mainly for the xforms frontend):

• Tarball 256 colors
• Tarball 8 colors

Light Icons (for a dark theme)

If you have a dark GTK theme (for example Zenburn(approve sites)), you might want to invert TeX' icons' color for better visibility. You can do this the dirty way using the following command (path depends on where LyX is installed, requires imagemagick).

 sudo find /usr/share/lyx/images/ -name *png -exec convert {} -negate {} \;
