I've used to toolbox to update one of the V3 templates, remove most of the graphics. However, I can't seem to get rid of the gradient behind the Help Title in a webhelp (see attachment).
Attached is an image of the Webhelp page, and another attachment with the settings for Page & Header Background.

Re: V3 Template removing gradient behind the help title.
Hi Dan,
It's not possible to have configuration settings for all aspects of the appearance and layout -- then there would be hundreds of variables and you wouldn't see the wood for the trees. This setting is in the hmwebhelp_main_xxx.css files in the Baggage (desktop, tablet and phone versions). Look for the h1.page_header definition and change the background setting from linear-gradient to the setting of your choice.

Re: V3 Template removing gradient behind the help title.
Thanks very much Tim. Two comments:
1. If you're going to allow the page_header font-family and color to be configured via a variable, I would suggest that the background should be as well. I spent at least an hour looking and playing around for this variable before asking for help. To me, it doesn't make sense that everything around the header can be configured via variables except for the background.
2. The Help in the Premium Pack Toolbox appears to be a modal-less dialog but is configured to be on top of all other applications. Can this be changed to a child of the Toolbox so it doesn't appear on top of every other window on my system?

I'll look into that for the next update. It's too late for the upcoming 3.42, unfortunately.Dan Rosen wrote:The Help in the Premium Pack Toolbox appears to be a modal-less dialog but is configured to be on top of all other applications.

Tim,
Where would I change this footer?

Hi Dan,
The 3.42 update was delayed slightly because of a new issue in CHM caused by a change by Microsoft. That gave me time to also fix the help window stacking in Toolbox. It will now display on top of the Toolbox application only, not on top of everything.

Thanks Tim. Appreciate the quick turnaround on my questions and the Toolbox help GUI.
