About Box

How does one customize the look of the "about" box? I'm sure no one cares to see "powered by robohelp" or some such nonsense on their corporate help system.

    Hi,

    In addition to Rick's post: The about box itself is the file whskin_banner.htm. It's just a simple HTML-file you can modify it any way you like (using Notepad/Dreamweaver/etc).

    Note that this is created from the seed directory every time you generate the layout. The seed directory is in your RH installation directory, normally: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 7\RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_skin. A backup is stored in: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 7\RoboHELP\WebHelp5Ext\template_skin

    Please backup any files in the seed directory, before you overwrite them.

    Greet,

    Willam

    Hi there

    Are you referring to the button you see in the toolbar or the actual window that appears when the button has been clicked by the end user?

    The Skins editor allows you to change or configure many aspects of each. Click View > Pods > Project Set-up. Then expand the Skins pseudo-folder and double-click the skin to make changes.

    Cheers... Rick
