In my Web Help generated from RH8, RobHelp HTML project:
The navigation toolbar (headers in the navigation pane) seem excessive (large, redundant) and this is probably exacerbated by the texture on the background jpg for the Nav pane header(s) (also used on the title bar).
Is there a way to reduce the height of these? Is it possible to create slices that line up as a coherent picture for the multilevel headers in navigation pane (TOC).
To feel my pain (to reproduce), click http://docs.ubmatrix.com/webhelp/RBME/3_6/Default.htm
Click Search button (magnifying glass on papers).
Enter a term (context, for example), then click Go.
eeeew. Is the height of all those slices available for public use (in the skin)?
Second issue: notice the "globe" (with a question mark) icon for the UBmatrix Report Builder tab in your browser. Now right click any topic, select properties and copy the URL for a topic into a new browser window (or use http://docs.ubmatrix.com/webhelp/RBME/3_6/Mapping_Workflow.htm). Viola, the "custom" icon is used for the topic, but not if you enable the TOC. How come?

A screenshot to with some arrows pointing at what you want to change would help. Please use the camera icon to insert it.
The second problem you are talking about is the favicon. I believe that has been documented in these forums.

Thanks Peter, I am speechless on the first question, because it has repaired itself!
2nd question, though, I have diligently followed the instructions for faveicon and am asking because I am not successfully implementing this feature. I have the desired icon in the root folder of the public facing server. Why would it work for a single page but not for the web help project?

1] Wondered why I couldn't see anything wrong.
2] Go to http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh_tour/index.htm Do you see my initials as the icon? I'll have to see if I can find my notes as to how I did that but pretty sure it was as posted somewhere on these forums. Did you find your method here? If so please post a link.

To save you some time Peter... To add your own icon, replace whstart.ico in your output with your own icon (.ico file). For completeness, you can also replace whrstart.ico and whestart.ico. (Hope I didn't forget one.)
Greet,
Willam

Thanks WvW, but that still didn't work. I've got 5 ico files (all those names you mentioned, plus fave.ico and rbme.ico in my published site.
If I right-click any link in the published Help and display in a new browser window (IE 8), the product icon displays. As soon as I click "show" to view the TOC, I get the globe again. Any ideas?

I'm now seeing the right icon first time using the first link you provided. Maybe this is another problem that has fixed itself or maybe it is a cache issue.

Bless you, Pete! I've flushed my cache, so there's something peculiar with the server!
I haven't published anything since Monday, so these display problems with public facing server content are very strange, indeed.
But if it looks good to you, great!
