Hello,

I am trialling RH 10

I would like to modify the look of HTML5 output but it doesnt seem that I can modify the skins. Is it possible to add my own icon and change colours of background, borders and fonts?

Thanks in advance,

Joanna

Hi JoJo_L and welcome to the RH forums.

If you look in your Project Set-up pod you will find a series of Screen Layouts. If you expand the layout for the device you want your output on, you can change the look and feel of the various elements using the Screen Layout Editor.

How does using this editor get imported to a CHM output?

I think we need to take a step back here. This thread started by asking about HTML5 output but has moved onto CHMs. These two output types are completely different beasts. A bit like comparing a Ferarri with a Ford.

RH10 does have the ability to "wrap" a WebHelp skin around a CHM file to make it look a little less dated. You create your CHM as normal and use one of the supplied ExtendScripts to do the rest.

It is also important in the context of this forum post to note that the HTML5 skins are very different to WebHelp skins. The later are maintained via the skins editor in the Project Set-up pod.

Hi,

You are posting this question in the HTML help forum. Do you create CHM or do you want to try HTML5?

You can completely skin the HTML5 skins any way you like. Be advised that you will need to know HTML and CSS if you want to undertake this. (Or probably much cheaper, hire a professional like myself

Greet,
