Changing inherent Styles that come with Flare?

[jcoria]

Is it possible to change the inherent classes of colors that come with Flare? Our color schema has changed and I was using lime green. The project has a large population of lime green usage. It is used in Style Sheet. I have created a new color based on the change. Is there any way to change the color lime green to reflect the color for the new schema?

Thank you.

Are you talking about the colors used for the skin, like the accordion buttons, toolbar pane, and so on? If so, then no. You'd have to create your own graphics for some items and specify the new color in the skin stylesheet for other items.

Font Color - Lime Green.

I want to change that style to some different RGB values.

Have you tried changing the font colour using the styleheet editor?

If you change the stylesheet editor to advanced view, select your element in the styles pane, and expand the font properties you should see color. It has a dropdown control where you can set the colour, web safe colours shown or you can set your own if preferred.

Thank you. That is where I am trying to make the change. It will not take. Can you have two values that are the same?

I'm not sure I get your meaning...

You should be able to use values anywhere.

Have you tried using hex values? The screenshot, below, uses the hex value for lime green and modofies the normal font to lime green - I tested to make sure.

I apologize for the confusion. I am speaking of the color picker.

In the attached image, there is LimeGreen. I used that color for several "Tip" font colors. The branding department has since come up with the other green (red arrow). I would like to "bulk replace" the older Lime Green font with the newer green color.

Thank you so much for your help.

Not automatically, because the colour picker isn't part of the CSS - it's there to help you when you are building a help system, but it isn't linked to the stylesheet.

However, what you could do is open the stylesheet in the text editor then use the find and replace tools to replace #32cd32 with #618e02. That would tell all of the elements that currenly use "limegreen" to use your new colour.

I thought about doing that...I also wondered if you could just remove the LimeGreen and rename the new one, LimeGreen?

Not sure (those labels may be predefined in the app) but even if you did it wouldn't affect your built output. When you deliver your Help, the colour depends on what is written in the CSS file, not what is in the colour palette. Changing the palette doesn't change topics or stylesheets that have had colours picked from it prior to the change. Changing the palette would only affect any new colours you pick from it.

The color Lime Green isn't Flare-specific. It's an industry standard. All of the 216 web-safe colors have a color name as well as the hex values that can be used. See http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/color ... 1/#Convert for all the color names.

So no, you can't tell it that Lime Green now translates to the hex value of 618e02 instead of 32cd32.
