Changing default online template theme

[technopsis]

Hi

Three templates are supplied: the Flare "Green" and an "Orange" and a "Blue" theme based templates. I would like to define my own "Color" theme.

This is fairly easy for print and for well-known HTML elements that could be directly edited in the style sheet.

My question is what about the HTML5 output icons that are used in TOC, at the bar atop the TOC, and the search bar. Are these images or standard HTML5 elements? If they are images, is there a source that one could edit and re-save as '*.png'. If they are standard HTML5 elements, can you please identify them?

Finally, and maybe this isn't a good question, but could there be a global parameter to control this template theme color at one place, so that it reflects all over?

Thank you,
Khaled

Khaled,

I don’t use the supplied templates, but I think the images you are referring to are the ones stored in:
C:Program Files/MadCap Software/MadCap Flare V10/Flare.app/Resources/WebHelp2/Desktop/Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images

That’s where standard images for the HTML5 skins are located.

An easy way to update the images, though, is directly through the skin. For example, to change the icon in an “active" Contents tab, select a new one (or select “none”) on the skin Styles/Navigation/Navigation Tab (active)/TOC/Icon.
