A common workaround is to have the edited version of the CSS file somewhere outside the Output folder and copy over the output file. I do it so often, and sometimes with multiple files, that I wrote a VBS script to do it for me. The down side is, if you or any other writer makes a change in Flare, ...

Hi there. I am doing a skin design for our help and have been manually editing a value for the tabs-panel class in the Styles.css file. I have been doing this in order to change the color of an element in our help. The reason I'm doing it manually in the output is because there is no access to this ...

We use TFS - Team Foundation Server for our source control and I am having an error whenever I try to import my project for the first time. When I download the project, I get all of the files and folders without any problem but the last file - the Flare project file (.flprj). I get an error saying i...

Tried adding a class, it didn't work. Anyone??

Here is an image of the skin settings for the search results table with the diagram calling out the table head elements. When I edit the color values here it changes the body of the search results not the table header. Does anyone know how to access and edit the properties for the column header text...

Does anyone know how to edit the color of the heading text in the search results table column?

Sorry I solved this: Create a span class named SearchHighlight1 and then adjust the values.

How do I change the color of a highlight on a search result? I have looked for the span.SearchHighlight1 properties but can't seem to find them or edit them in the styles list. Where can I access and edit the color value?

Best, Steve

Thanks for your reply. I'll work around it.

Can you change the color for the AcordionItem text color for different states? If the Glossary bar is selected for example, can you have the text 'Glossary' change color while it is selected? If I look at the properties for the Index AccordionItem, it seems to only allow you top set one color for al...

Is there a way to filter out unused styles from the view when editing a CSS is Flare?

Best Steve

Thanks Lisa, I will put that recommendation in. Thanks for your input here. Greatly appreciated.

Best, Steve

Good points, but I think the problem here is that the properites dialog should pop up when I select the rows and columns to provide me with the options rather than just assume I want the cells without the headers. It behaves this way when you create a table from the Insert menu but not the table men...

Ok I got this, it doesn't automatically include a header row when you create the table even though it has been defined in the style. (odd) You have to click inside the table and then select Table properties from the ribbon and then enter the number of header rows you want. Shouldn't this be an autom...

I created a style, defined the header style in the header tab in the dialog, After I create the table I select it from the Apply table style drop down menu. I get no header. The header has a quantity of 1 beside it so I know it should appear. Any thoughts?

Steve

I just created a new table style and the header row doesn't appear when I insert it. Am I missing a check box somewhere?

Steve

I just ran into an output error in one of my style sheets that read: line-hight: Inherit; This occured after I created a new body style for the project. I opened the CSS in Dreamweaver and did a search for Inherit - there were several returns Next replaced the word Inherit with a value of 1.5 using ...

Thanks Steve, just getting into the MC Flare, looks amazing.

Please go back to whatever you were doing...

Steve

Can I enforce the color of a followed breadcrumb link in MC Flair or does it follow the local browser settings?
