"Loosing" my Skin....

Post by KHupp »

I have noticed on occasion that when I build my Web Help file, that Flare will disregard my custom Skin referenced in the Target properties and revert back to my Default Skin.
I have viewed the build logs and found nothing to indicate the custom skin was not found or any kind of error message that would relate to why this happens.

I have not been able to reproduce consistently so it is hard to pin point what the steps or issue is. It is not a show stopper as I just "rebuild" the file again and it is back to the skin I told it to use in the first place...

I do know that the skins are not touched or modified in the Target file properties.

This was an issue in v.9 of Flare and still there in v.11

OK... I think I just found the issue... Flare builds the .chm file. Once completed I open the file on it's own and it shows the proper Title of the Web Help. I know this because the Title displays the date I inputted and the Home page also has the date variable to display the current build date.
I copy the file to the proper location and then open the program that will utilize the chm file.
I open the Web Help and it display the title from the default skin, BUT the home page shows the proper date/info, so I know the files are being built right, just seems to keep the default skin in the back ground and then rears it's ugly head (title) when ran through a program.


Thanks for any thoughts or ideas of what might be happening....
