How to style the Related Topics control

Post by Peter Kelly »

Hi everyone,

I have searched high and low in the default Style.css and have found a group of styles called MadCapFlareRelatedTopics[...] but no indication where the background blue is coming from. I have checked all the hover pseudo styles. Any help is much appreciated.

Best,
Peter

Not sure if you can edit this in the stylesheet editor, but if you open your stylesheet in the text editor you can edit with this:

.link-list-popup ul li:hover{
background-color: #FFF
}

Flare adds some 'automatic' style properties to the output that you (confusingly) won't see in the actual CSS of the source stylesheet - they're added to stylesheet in the output. You can get these 'automatic' styles to show in the stylesheet editor by selecting Show: Set properties - properties set in this or imported stylesheet.

The property you need to change is MadCap|helpControlMenuItem > Highlighted > background-color

This is actually mentioned in the help here:
