Changing the text for the Related Topics button

Issue

User wants to figure out how to format the Related Topics text that appears in WebWorks Help 5.0 for pop-up related topics, not the text in the related topics window, but the "Related Topics" text that appears next to the button.

Solution

You can change the text style of the "Related Topics" button by creating an override for your selected skin's "wwhelp_settings.xml". For example, if you have selected the "Classic" skin your Target Settings dialog for WWHelp, then you would create an override in your project folder as:

<project>\Targets\<target name>\Skins\Classic\wwhelp_settings.xml

Look for the following code

   <RelatedTopics enableicon="true" enableinline="true">
    <Title>
     <Font style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size: 10pt" />
     <Colors foreground="#FFFFFF" background="#999999" />
    </Title>
    <Inline>
     <Font style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size: 10pt" />
     <Colors foreground="#003366" />
    </Inline>
    <Font style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size: 8pt" />
    <Colors foreground="#003399" background="#FFFFFF" border="#666666" />
    <Size width="250" />
   </RelatedTopics>

you will use the Title element to determine how this will be styled
