Add 2 logos to webhelp skin toolbar

Post by 3lliot »

Does anyone know how to do this? I'd like 1 at the top left and one at the top right, linking to different targets.

As you can see from the attachment, I have an image strip for the toolbar that splits the toolbar into 2 horizontal slices.

The image at the right has transparent space added to the bottom to push it up to the top of the toolbar.

I guess it would be impossible to add another logo on the left, above the toolbar buttons, with the buttons left-justified as they are...?

Not from within Flare, but you could make a copy of the relevant .htm file in the generated output, add the code pointing to the graphic in the Resources folder and hyperlink, and save your modified file outside the project. When you generate the output, you have to remember to copy your modified file over the generated file in the output folder, and you need to remember to do that every time, or at least the last time you build before uploading/publishing/releasing the output to the users.

If you want the same effect in all your projects with the same logo, hyperlink, etc., then you could possibly modify the same file in the Flare Program Files folder. Doing that modification would affect all projects built on that machine, so you'd need to make the same modifications on any other computer where Flare is used, and you'd have to redo the effect when the next version of Flare comes out, since new versions don't overwrite previous versions. Perhaps even when an update comes out, depending on what fixes were implemented in the update. You should make a copy of the file before modifying it so you have a backup, although reinstall Flare should get the file back, if all else fails.

And, of course, submit a feature request at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx.

Can't help with your problem, but I love the icons in your WebHelp skin! Did you design them yourself?

Hi 3lliot,

I really liked the skin you have developed. And what you have done may be the answer to a problem I am facing. (I have posted about putting the company logo on the left side and the toolbar below it). But I am not sure how you have created an image for the toolbar. Would be great if you could tell me how that is done.

Hope it wont be too much trouble.

Thanks
TeSol
