To install this toolbar,

  1. Make a backup copy of your “image folder “…\lyx\share\lyx\images”
  2. Copy the included folder “images” into the directory “…\lyx\share\lyx”.
    Confirm overwrite for several images.
  3. Copy the included folder “ui” into the directory “…\lyx\share\lyx”.
    Confirm directory overwrite.
  4. Open LyX, select Edit -> Preferences ->  Look and Feel ->  User Interface -> User Interface File ->  Browse, select “..\lyx\share\lyx\ui\es.ui”.

 

If you want to make other icons, open an icon file you want to modify with a WordPad (not Notepad). The xpm files are pure text files, the format is largely self-explanatory.

For changing the toolbar, edit the text file “..\lyx\share\lyx\ui\es.ui” with a word processor.

For restoring your old settings, restore the images and select the standard user interface default.ui.
