Changing the Background Color of the Toolbar
The toolbar in WebWorks Help is composed of a single repeating .gif image. This image is located in the images folder of your WebWorks Help theme. To modify the background color of the toolbar, you can override the toolsbg.gif file.
To change the background color of the toolbar
1. Identify the theme in use for your WebWorks Help target that you want to modify. For more information, see Selecting a Theme.
2. In your Stationery design project, on the View menu, click Project Directory. For more information about override files and locations, see Stationery, Projects, and Overrides.
3. If you want to override the image for all WebWorks Help targets, create the WebWorks Help 5.0\Skins\theme\Files\wwhelp\wwhimpl\common\images folder in your projectname\Formats folder, where theme is the name of the WebWorks Help theme you want to override, such as Lobby_Blue, and projectname is the name of your ePublisher project. If the theme name is two words, include an underscore instead of a space between the words.
4. If you want to override the image for one WebWorks Help target, create the WebWorks Help 5.0\Skins\theme\Files\wwhelp\wwhimpl\common\images folder in your projectname\Targets folder, where theme is the name of the WebWorks Help theme you want to override, such as Lobby_Blue, and projectname is the name of your ePublisher project. If the theme name is two words, include an underscore instead of a space between the words.
5. Copy the toolsbg.gif file from the following folder to the images override folder you created within your project folder:
Program Files\WebWorks\ePublisher Designer\Formats\WebWorks Help 5.0\ Skins\theme\Files\wwhelp\wwhimpl\common\images
6. Open the toolsbg.gif file you copied to your project override folder and modify it to be the background image of the toolbar pane.
7. Save and close the toolsbg.gif file.
8. Regenerate your project to review the changes.
