I'm new to trying WebHelp output. I have been using chm output for years and I am looking for an updated look.
How do I replace the H&M logo and the link address in the upper left hand corner of the browser page with the company I work for?
thanks

I figured out to replace the logo.
Name the logo company-logo.png and replace the one in the HTML folder.

Hi Woody,
That's correct. To change the link, look in the Project Explorer on the left and then navigate down to Configuration > Common Properties > Text Variables. You'll find variables there for both the target of the link and the name of the logo file, among other things. Remember to include the http:// or https:// prefix, otherwise the link won't work.I figured out to replace the logo. Name the logo company-logo.png and replace the one in the HTML folder.

Re: WebHelp replace H&M logo and link
Thanks. That works. Now I just have to pick a skin/template.
If I have other questions, should I post them separately?
Like:
Can I make the browser window open without tabs, so the help is promoted? (if so, how?)
I like the skin- Webhelp, Responsive Grey, Keywordlist.hmskin
Is there anyway to lighten the grey?
Thanks again.

Hi Woody,
If you have completely separate questions it's always best to post a separate topic. That makes it easier for people using the forum as a database to find what they are looking for. These questions are related, so it's fine to keep them in this conversation.

It used to be possible to control all kinds of browser behavior but all browsers are now much more restrictive. Basically, you should never try to change browser behavior with your pages. That's now bad practice and even with things that are possible it can easily get you downranked on Google and other search machines. The browser is the users' living room. Don't march in there and start rearranging their furniture. It won't bring you any benefits, and it will make your users angry at you. Just don't do it.Can I make the browser window open without tabs, so the help is promoted? (if so, how?)
All the responsive skins have basic configuration settings in the stored variables including some of the colors. Edit the skin and go to Configuration > Common Properties > Text Variables. In addition to that, look in the following places to edit the CSS directly. DON'T try to switch to "Simple" mode for the HTML templates -- that would delete the custom template and return you to the basic default wire-frame template (i.e. would delete all the skin customization).I like the skin- Webhelp, Responsive Grey, Keywordlist.hmskin

- Configuration > HTML Page Templates > Default. This is the topic page template and you will find some CSS there for things like the topic header.
- Configuration > Publishing Options > WebHelp > Layout. This is the main layout page that contains all the WebHelp components -- the navigation pane, the page header and the topic page pane.
- Project Files > Baggage Files. Look for files with the .css extension there. They contain general CSS settings.
