WebHelp skin: style to hover/select topic in navigation pane

Post by heal »

Hi, I am trying to make some changes to our web help skin FLSKN file in Flare 7, see the attached image how it looks today.
I want to change the style on hovering and selecting a topic in the left navigation pane as follows:
  • Orange #ffa500 background color instead of light grey
  • Black font color on the hyperlink instead of red
Please guide me, I've tried to change in the FLSKN file long enough without progress :( I only managed o change the background color for he whole pane from light grey to white, and to keep the selected color with grey background color (as shown in the image attached).

See this KB article --> http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/default_CSH.htm#OUTW1018F

This is a manual modification you have to make every time you build (or once, just before releasing to your users). If you don't like having to do that workaround, submit a feature request at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx.

Thank you LTinker68 for your reply! The instruction was very clear to me, but unfortunately it did not work. After changing the color hex codes in the MadCapToc.js file, the hover color for the hyperlink and the background color for the selected TOC entry are still unchanged :?

Thank you people for trying to help me! I finally received an answer from the MadCap support saying:
Make sure that the option "Condense Javascript files" is cleared in the Target (Open the Target, select the Performance tab). Then follow the steps from the KB article.

Now I could change the colors for hover and select topic.
