How to change the background color of the glossary popup?

[siskamoens]

I just started playing with the glossary in Flare 3.1, and I have found the glossaryPagexxx (under div) and the glossaryTerm styles, but none of these seem to influence the popup box. Does anyone know how to change the style of the popup box itself? I would especially like to change the grey background and the borders.

[forfear]

Is this in the Div.xxxx

section of the stylesheet?


if i am not wrong this place has an article on this kb.madcapsoftware.com

no, none of the styles there seem to have an effect on the popup box. As I said before:

"...I have found the glossaryPagexxx (under div) and the glossaryTerm styles, but none of these seem to influence the popup box."

Any other suggestions?

I've complained before about the glossary styles being spread all over the place.

If you set the glossary term to be a popup, then it uses the styles specified in the popup tag for the background. So for the popup tag, set the background color to what you want.

Ha, I found it!
It was the popupBody style I had to modify.

Thanks, Lisa!

I found the style as well and was able to change the background... thanks! I love this forum.

However, even though the popup font family is the same as everything else in my help system, the text in the popup appears bitmapped whereas all other text in my help system is fine. Any thoughts?

FYI...

I sent this one to MadCap tech support. It seems that Firefox displays glossary popup text just fine at any font size, whereas I.E. bitmaps the text in font sizes under 13 points. Live and learn.

I'll always test in both browsers from now on.
