Styles not in Resource Styles but in "Skin"Styles

[bangmaster]

OK, I wish I was better at Flare than I am, so please excuse the simplistic nature of the question. There are some classes that I was not able to find anywhere in my css sheets in Resources. In testing, the Developer Tools in Chrome identified that those classes and styles were in stylesheets within my skin. How is that possible? How do I fix this. For example, I want to create add more padding to a style, and the Dev Tools tells me the style is in the skins stylesheets. I tested the change in Dev Tools, and it does exactly what I want it to do? Do I move the skin stylesheet to my main stylesheets in Resources?

Sorry, I know this sounds confusing, but any help is greatly appreciated.

You are far from the first person to get tripped up by this.

(This is over-simplified, but....) There are separate stylesheets that are managed in different locations in Flare:

• Skin styles control some look and feel of the 'frame' (container) around your content; things like the logo or the font for the table of contents entries. These are stored in the skin itself, as XML properties; access them in the Project Organizer in the Skins folder; double-click the skin and select the Styles tab.
• Content styles control the look and feel of your content. These are the ones you're familiar with; access them in the Content browser at Resources\Stylesheets folder of your project.

Thanks,

I can't thank you enough! Not sure why MadCap didn't make this a bit easier to figure out, but it is what it is. Thanks a million.
