Rename Navigation Tabs and add Icon

Post by erinep23 »

I am using an HTML5 skin and would like to know how I can rename the navigation tabs and add icons, similar to the Madcap web help. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Set the tab names on the skin's UI Text tab, and the icons on the Styles tab - Navigation Tab (active)/(inactive).

It's in the help here: http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare ... _HTML5.htm

So for the icons, do I add it as a background image?

No, you need to edit the Icons settings, discussed further down in the help topic Dave pointed you to.

I don't have those options that show up on the topic displayed in MadCap Help-- going to Navigation Panel gives me one property-- "Position." Also, I can't seem to add a class on any element of the skin, either from the Styles or UI Text window. The Help makes it seem like I should be able to do that. I feel like an idiot. Grrrr.

Please don't feel like an idiot. There are so many properties, it's hard to find things sometimes in the help or in the Flare UI.

Here's a screenshot of the skin editor where you need to work. You need to work with the Navigation Tab (active) and Navigation Tab (inactive) items, as there are two versions of each nav icon.
