I think you can change that by using the Option Inspector. But new notebooks will use the WRI Default.nb. Once you attach a stylesheet to a notebook it will automatically be used. When I added FontFamily -> "Lucida Calligraphy" to the underlying options in the notebook cell it did recognize the font. But I tried Lucida Calligraphy and that was recognized in the stylesheet but not in the notebook. I just edited the Input style to Verdana Regular (which Mathematica changed to Plain) and it was recognized in the stylesheet and in the notebook. I'm not sure what's going wrong with issue#2.
Then install it under a different name, SteigerwaitDefault.nb say. You can edit the stylesheet initially attached to your working notebook. It's part of the Wolfram Mathematica Installation and probably protected. You can't edit or change the Default.nb, or at least you shouldn't. Few people seem interested in this however.
I describe how to build an application and stylesheets at my web site. The notebooks would automatically use the stylesheet and you wouldn't have to give any special instructions. These also have a place for stylesheets and can include notebooks so you could just zip up the application and send it to another person. If you are also going to have other things, such as a package, and are working on some specific application, then you might want to create an application. If you are sending your notebook to someone then you will also have to send the stylesheet (and tell them where to put it) or you will have to attach it again to your notebook. Now use the Stylesheet menu to specify the new installed stylesheet. It will appear on your Format, Stylesheet menu.īut the stylesheet will still be attached to your notebook. This will install the notebook in your $UserBaseDirectory/Mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/StyleSheetsįolder.
If you want to Save the stylesheet for general use in other notebooks, then use Install. If you just want to attach the style to the specific notebook you can close the stylesheet at that point. This change should alter the look of the entry in the Stylesheet and also in the notebook. But I think you want the Face to be Plain, not Regular. Use Menu, Format, Edit Stylesheet and make your change. Thoughts about this would be appreciated. So selecting this new Install name in the Format/Stysesheet listis an extra step when opening a new Notebook. However, a change to the Font name is ignored and the Font name reverts to Courier New. This changes the Notebook Stylesheet and makes an entry of the new Install name in the Format/Stylesheet selection list. Issue #2: A workaround for Issue #1 is to select Format/Edit Stylesheet and make the desired Font changes.
I make the changes to the Input Font but I see no way to save the changes made to update Default.nb. I would like to change this to Regular.īy selecting Format/Edit Stylesheet I see the message "Inheriting base definitions from stylesheet Default.nb".
Issue #1: When Mathematica is launched with new Notebook the Default stylesheet is checked ( I access this by clicking Format/Stylesheet).
