Applying background colour to navigation pane in a CHM

Question

HiI am using Robohelp 7 to create a Compiled HTML Help project and I would like to apply a background colour to the navigation pane (i.e. the TOC).I feel sure that this is going to be a very obvious option, but I've been searching for ages and just can't find it! Can anyone help?Many thanks.CJ

Hi, CJ,If RoboHelp doesn't provide an option to change the background colour of the Contents pane, it's almost certainly because of a long-standing bug in the HTML Help compiler. Although Microsoft did make provision for changing the background colour of the TOC — the basic procedure is described here — the colour does not change behind the text in the TOC. This issue is described in article 267973 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. See:http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267973Strangely, there's never been any way to change the background colour of the Index pane, Search pane, or any other pane — only the Contents pane. So, this is one of those unfinished areas of HTML Help that Microsoft has never got round to fixing.Pete
