Mobile phone skin

Post by benpal »

When you view WebHelp Mobile project from Flare, you get this iPhone-like frame around the content.
Is there any way you can get the same look when you lunch WebHelp Output from within a PC application, instead of displaying it in a browser window?
Is their a way to create your own "skin frames", such as a Nokia phone, a screen on a car dashboard or the like?

There's nothing in Flare to do that.

If you just want to check what it looks like in a 'plain' or fixed-size window, then you can open the WebHelp in a browser window that has no toolbars, etc.
I do that myself, I have a html file on my desktop that has a link to open the help in a 'plain' browser window.

If you need to have an image around the help, then you could make a web page that contains the surrounding image, and to display the help use an iframe that links to your WebHelp output.

Thanks for your prompt response, I see what you mean and have thought about that. It would still have browser window though.
