QuickSearch border

[eshade]

Does anyone know how to change the border of the Quicksearch input? I can see that the border is set to solid 1px #0055ff, but I don't see it in the Project source directories, or the Flare directory in \Program Files.

I don't have Flare open at the moment, but if MadCap gave you the option to set it, then it would be in the Skin Editor, under Styles.

The border for the QuickSearch input box is not configurable on the skin editor, although the font is. It appears that the size of the QuickSearch box could be configured in MadcapToolbar.js, but the border color of the input box is not.

We have modified the skin to match our system colors and fonts. The blue border around the search box does not match very well.

Make sure you submit a feature request at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx asking for the ability to modify the style of the Quick Search box. In the meantime, save a copy of MadcapToolbar.js outside the project, open the copy and modify the style for the Quick Search box, then copy the modified file back over the version that's in the output folder. Keep that modified version outside of the project, and every time you build the output (or just before you release it to the users), copy the modified version over the generated version.

Or, if you're gutsy, you can modify the MadcapToolbar.js file that's stored in the Flare program files folder. Doing so will change the appearance of the Quick Search bar for all projects, not just this project. If you do that, make sure you make a backup of the original so that you can go back to it if there's a problem later.
