Good Morning,
I use RoboHelp to create WebHelp as my output. I was asked if there is a way to have the WebHelp toggle between day mode (white background with black text) and night mode (dark background with white lettering) by simply clicking a toggle button. I don't believe there is any such way to do this but thought I'd ask anyway.
Best Regards,
Ken

If the WebHelp is linked to an application, I would think perhaps a developer could have some code to determine time of day and open the appropriate WebHelp.
Just some thoughts off the top of my head... Rick
