A few weeks ago I showed you how to adjust the search highlight color in Multiscreen HTML5. This week, let's look at how you add your logo to the Multiscreen HTML5 Catalog Layout.

Not all Screen Layouts support logos by default. Fortunately, it is easy to add your logo to the Catalog Layout. To begin, ensure that your logo image meets these requirements:

  • No more than 80 pixels tall
  • No more than 400 pixels wide

Ensure that the Catalog Layout is Available in the Project:

  1. With a RoboHelp project open, go to the Project Set-up pod.
  2. Open Screen Layouts. If the Desktop_Catalog layout is in the list, you are ready to add your logo. If not, continue with the next few steps.

  3. Right-click Screen Layouts and choose New Screen Layout.
  4. From the Gallery list at the left, select Desktop_Catalog.
