Default screen fonts for Part and Section are the same, which makes them confusing to use. Is there a way to change them?

In the layouts folder in LyX' application directory, you will find a file called article.layout
, which defines how document elements should appear in LyX. Most are inherited from stdclass.inc
, but the layout for Part
and Part*
are defined there, as follows:
Style Part
Align Left
AlignPossible Left
TopSep 2
BottomSep 1.5
Font
Size Larger
EndFont
End
Style Part*
Align Left
AlignPossible Left
TopSep 2
BottomSep 1.5
Font
Size Larger
EndFont
End
These types of definitions can be added to the Local layout in the Document settings. There is also a button there to save whatever you add as Document defaults. Other valid values for the Size
parameter is Largest
and Huge
. I do not know all the possible things one can put here, but for example changing the Font
part in the above to
Font
Size Huge
Color blue
EndFont
and adding it to Document --> Settings --> Local layout will set parts in a larger font, and blue colour.
