    RH9 AIR Help Skin Editor - Save Custom Colours

    Jeff_Coatsworth CommunityMVP

      I've just started playing with the new RH9 AIR Help skin editor. According to this help file (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS154224F0-4F34-40e4-82E2-D21D52E45CE9.html# WS1b49059a33f77726309bb18812b3dada097-8000), you should be able to change background colours for the various elements on the screen. I've had no luck in doing this through the editor. Each time I click on a background colour to edit it, it displays the colour picker and a place to enter the hexadecimal value of the custom colour I want to use - but it doesn't seem to retain the change - it always reverts back to "factory" colour. I even thought that I should create my own custom palette and use that. No luck.

       

      However, I did discover that you can get your colours to be used if you edit the .xml file found in %Application Data%\Adobe\RoboHTML\[version]\AIRSkinEditor\ColorThemes - I figured that out from the section that describes deleting custom palettes.

       

      There must be an easier way - anybody know what I'm doing wrong after I type in the custom colour code?
