Change title, tooltip and icon for About button in published Webhelp?

About Webhelp  is just plain wrong.  The tooltip ought to read "About <project name>" and the title bar for the About window should be eliminated (or else have it read About <project ver xx>.

How do I do this?

Likewise, is it possible to change the ICON for the About dialog in the toolbar of a published Webhelp project?

Please start each thread with the edition and version of RoboHelp that you are using. Sorry but we cannot remember these details about every poster.

In RH8 there is an option not to have the image or to use your own, maybe RoboHelp 7 too. In earlier versions download Rick's Skinny on Skins. I believe he has that covered there.

Not sure about the title. A text search on the wh files in the output would probably locate it.

Found it!

The About tooltip can be changed in the whtbar.js file.  Just search for "About Webhelp" in that file and you'll find it.

And yes, this is one of those files that gets regenerated, so you'll have to replace it each time..


Or update the "seed" file among those in the RoboHelp Installation folder.

Cheers... Rick
