New skin won't show in dropdown

Post by oceanclub »

I imported a HTML5 skin as described here:

https://www.madcapsoftware.com/download ... skins.aspx

The file is now under the Project/Skins folder.

However, when I try to select it in my target, it's not visible. From the Skin > Skin dropdown, only (default), (none) and Minty Fresh are available.

The skins shown on the webpage you cite are all Tripane skins. Are you trying to create Tripane output or Top Nav output?

I'm also a little unclear on something. Is Minty Fresh the skin you downloaded? You say that it's is listed in the drop-down, so I'm not sure what your problem is. (Sorry to sound dense; rather, I just need a little more info to assist you [assuming I can].)

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Hi Nita, I would be happy with either output; I just wanted to test the skin out.

Nope; Minty Fresh is an existing one. My Skins folder contains the following:
  • Blue Red
  • Default
  • midnight2lg
  • Minty Fresh
  • WebHelp
"Blue Red" is the downloaded HTML5 skin. So I expected to see it in the dropdown list, but only Minty Fresh is there. Perhaps there is some extra step.

Hi,
You say you can't see it in the dropdown list in your target.

If you go to the "Skins" folder within the Project Organizer, can you see it?
If not, you need to right-click, select Add Skin... and select the skin you want from the list of those available.

Once you've added it, you should see the skin in the dropdown within your target.
