Desperate for help with the skin editor

Hi, Everyone.

I'm looking for detailed documentation of how to configure a frameless skin in the skin editor. Adobe tech support has not been able to point me to any documentation or tutorial that I'm not already familiar with.

I'm willing to buy a book. But neither I nor my employer are willing to spend $750 on a training course.

Here's everything I've studied. None of it goes beyond even the most basic instruction for using the skin editor:

Adobe RH 2019 Help Manual
Adobe RH 2019 User Guide (online)
TutorialsPoint RH Guide
Peter Grainge's "tour" of RH 2019
the PFA User guide ("Using RH 2017")
Adobe Demo #1: "RoboHelp Reimagined" (Quick Start tutorial)
Adobe Demo #2: "Upgrading and Advanced Features"
Matt Sullivan video: Tech Comm Tools Tutorial for RH 2019
Neil Perlin: RH 2015 (LinkedIn Learning)
RH 9 (LinkedIn Learning)

Thank you.

Well, though grateful for Jeff's suggestion, I've just bought the Kindle edition of the IconLogic book. And it too is incredibly thin on detail. It certainly has brought me no closer to successfully configuring a frameless skin using the skin editor.

I'm pretty much ready to give up on RH. I don't know what to tell me boss. She invested in the software on my say so. But I'm at my wits end. I've burned forty man hours and have made zero progress -- worse, I've actually destroyed what I had accomplished in the past week.

Last week, I succeeded in placing a great background image and logo into the skin homepage (Oceanic). But since then, b/c there's no documentation to go by for further refinements, my trial-and-error process has wrecked what I had accomplished last week. The background image and logo no longer display. And I have no idea how to remedy what destruction I've wrought.
