How to change popup colors in RH10

I am using RH10, HTML, compiling a .chm file.

According to Adobe support, there is no way to change the color of visited popups. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to do this? I find it hard to believe that visited popups would not have a different color.

I have submitted a bug report on this.

I suspect the issue here is that the link to a popup is the same as the link to any topic, as far as the browser is concerned. If you wanted all your links to have a specific colour when visited it would be quite easy. There is some information in Snippets on my site about that. Your requirement though is that the colour only applies to links to popups.

I think that could be achieved by creating a class of links where all the colours are the same as already defined but you set a different colour for visited links for this class.

Rh10's style editor makes this easier than before. Perhaps the RoboHelp Tour on my site will help on that.

Post back if you are still stuck.

In the compiled version, once I select Allowance Factors, that link changes color to indicate that it is a ‘visited’ link. However, once I select ‘manual’ it does not change colors:
