Documentation on Skins Editor (RH2020)

I am using Robohelp 2020.6.76.

I want to customize one of the built-in skins, so I built a simple project and output it using the 5 built-in skins and compared them. I like some elements of one skin and some from another. But I am having a difficult time figuring out where some of the settings are set. The preview is helpful, but sometimes turning a feature on and off makes no difference in the preview. Is there any documentation on all those fields in the skin editor?

Thanks,

Jim

    Oh I just poked around the latest help and did find this, which includes some labelled screenshots that might provide a few clues.

    I think it must be pretty new as I don't remember seeing it before either. 🙂

      There's no documentation about the skins that I'm aware of. The best I can suggest is inspect the items you're interested in using the browser Developer Tools then try to find something similarly named in the editor.

       

      Also, the skin editor is mostly about customising fonts and colours. You can't really change any functionality. You can add additional assets, including javascript, to the skin that can add functionality, but that will take a proper developer to create and update for you.

       

      You can post in the forums for help about a specific area you're having problems with and we can try to help, but we'll be basically randomly poking it, ourselves. 🙂

       

      If you do post a question about a specific issue, please include screenshots using the Insert Photo icon so the images are included inline with the text of your post. This makes it easier for us to help.
