Skins

The idea behind skins is that you can customize the look and feel for your particular help system without affecting any pages that make up the documentation. The Skin interface is made up of three sections, the 'Contents Frame', the 'Page Frame' and the 'Function Toolbar' as shown below:



The layout for each skin is stored in an HTML file with the format: skin_<name>.htm. (eg. skin_blue.htm).

Each help project has it's own set of skins, which means if you modify a skin or create a new skin, other projects will not be affected. A skin can, however, be copied from one project to another by simply copying the skin file (eg. skin_blue.htm)
