I've poured through Rick's "Skinny on Skins" and found lots of great things to use. I'm having trouble with the "Alter WebHelp Toolbar height" Topic though.
I followed the instructions and made the following change in my .skn file: <frameset rows="555,*" >. (I know it's a lot bigger than is needed but I'm not seeing any change.)
After re-generating WebHelp however, this is what is appearing:
I am wanting the toolbar to look like this:
You advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
I managed to fix this problem by adding a logo image of the correct height to the toolbar, a solution I found in another thread.

Hi there
I'm not sure what the issue really is. Moments ago I used RoboHelp 8 and edited the Default skin using the info provided in the Skinny file and it resized exactly as I wanted.
Have you tried this with the Default skin? I'm not suggesting that you switch to the Default skin moving forward, only as a troubleshooting means to ensure that things are working as they should.
Cheers... Rick

Ok. I started over with a new project and indeed was able to get the Toolbar to resize. (Yeah!)
However, being as I'm still defining the image to use in the banner so that it works with the toolbar buttons, as soon as I changed the Background image in the Skin Editor, it *stopped* re-sizing again.
The frameset rows is unchanged in the Default.skn file (I'm only using that one .skn).
Any idea what I could be missing?

Can you send me the image you are trying to use and I'll try from my end?

Hi Rick, did you get to the bottom of the problem? I'm experiencing the same issue to; I've resized the height of the toolbar sucessfully once, but now it won't work. The relevant section of the .skn file that seems now to be ignored is:
<panesummary>
<![CDATA[
<frameset rows="60,*" >
<frame name="Custom Toolbar Pane" scrolling="no" id="3" />
<frameset cols="200,*" frameborder="0" borderspace="0" >
<frameset rows="37,*" >
<frame name="MiniBar Pane" marginwidth="-1" scrolling="no" id="6" />
<frame name="Navigation Pane" id="2" />
</frameset>
<frame name="Topic Pane" frameborder="1" borderspace="1" bordercolor="Gray" marginwidth="-1" marginheight="-1" id="4" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
]]>
</panesummary>
...but the 60 seems to be being ignored in this iteration.
FYI I'm using RH8 in Win7 and viewing in IE8.
