RH2020 Skin Editor: Header Title - What is its Source?

I've converted an old RH project and am working through cleaning it up while trying to learn RH2020.  However, marketing wants the title and formatting changed.  I used the skin editor to make the formatting changes they requested, but I cannot figure out the source of the actual title text.  In the Skin Editor, it is Employee Care 3. 

 

Thanks so much for your patience to all who are trying to rebuild everything.

    Thank you, Peter and Amebr!

    That preset Title is exactly what I needed right now.  I'm under pressure to get something out by the end of this week. I've been unable to secure an extension so I can take time to research and use new features and enhancements.  As you suggested, Peter, I would be most interested in exploring the frameless skins.  I don't know how to get started on that so I'll explore your URL when I have time.  

    Once again,  THANKS!

    In that case the preset you generate from simply needs to be edited as shown. The title comes from the preset rather than the skin so that you can use the same skin in multiple presets with different titles.

    I did not think that I built the old content in webhelp; there is no context-sensitive help as far as I know. I've always output as Responsive HTML5.  Was the old project built in webhelp as a default and I did not know it?

    Marketing wants a different name for the title of the output, right in mid-project.  I am not yet to a point where I can create output.  But frameless skins sound very appealing.  I hope I have time to research them; I doubt it.  

    Thank you!

    The upgrade process creates a responsive preset with the same name as in Classic. See below. It does not select any skin so you are free to choose. If no skin is selected, RoboHelp applies Azure Blue by default. To apply a frameless skin, you have to create a new preset.

    This is what you need to change if you stick with what you have. As before, whatever skin you choose, calls using URLs will need to change.

    I think the title displayed in the skin won't change, however your output should use the value in your preset: in the Title field on the General tab.

    WebHelp as such was dropped in the change from Classic to the New UI but don't panic. Your WebHelp has been converted to a responsive skin by default. This is explained in WebHelp Output (grainge.org)

     

    This does mean if you use URLs for context sensitive help, your developers will need to change the calls. Map IDs will still work.

     

    In 2020 you have a further option, frameless skins. I recommend considering that option over responsive skins as this is where future development will be and they have many more editing options. There will still be a need to change the calls if your are using URLs for context sensitive help but you have to make that change anyway.

     

    The skins should pick up the name of your project when you generate the help. Editing the font is easier in a frameless skin so can you consider that? I think long term it will be a better option. If not see if this helps. Snippets (grainge.org)

    In the preset you will find which skin you are using. Which is it?
