Customizing the Look and Feel of the Web Help Templates

There are several ways you can customize the Web Help look and feel, and options.

  • You can customize the styles used in the css file.
  • You can show or hide each of the toolbar icons. When you show an icon you are enabling the functionality required for your output.
  • You can switch between the standard themes by changing the default color options (either blue or gray).
  • You can create your own color theme, adapting the styles in the css file and other files used by the standard gray theme.
  • In addition, you can customize the footer layout and use system variables to include publishing information.
