condition tag background color not appearing
I have a condition tag with the background set as orange, but when I apply the tag to an element (e.g. a <p>), the background color does not change in the XML Editor. What should I look at?

In the topic editor, click the Show Tags icon (looks like <t> )and select Show Conditional Indicators.

I enabled mine to Show Conditional Indicator but I still don't see any of the background colors. Is there some other setting that I need to enable? Thanks!
Re: condition tag background color not appearing
Where are you looking for the indicators? If you apply the condition to a topic file or a folder, you'll see the color in the block next to the file or folder name in the Content Explorer, if you have the option to show the square enabled (that's an icon in the Content Explorer that you have to enable). If you apply the condition to content in a topic, then it should appear behind the content you applied it to, but some content might display it in the tag block instead. Images, for instance. I don't have Flare open at the moment to double-check, but I think you'll see the condition color in the img tag block along the top of the XML Editor, if the option to show tag blocks was enabled. In other words, I don't think you see the condition color overlaid on the image itself, but if you look at its tag block you'll see the color.

Re: condition tag background color not appearing
Apologies for necroing an old thread but thank you! I just reinstalled Flare on a new computer and could not figure out why conditionals were no longer showing up. IMO this should be toggled on by default. It's too easy to screw something up if you can't see what has conditionals on it. The sidebar highlight is just too small and too light to be noticeable.lacastle wrote:In the topic editor, click the Show Tags icon (looks like <t> )and select Show Conditional Indicators.
