RE: CHM TOC Icons
There are options but they are 
limited.

 

 

(1) There is a TOC option to use either a book 
icon (default) or a folder icon for container levels. The following HHC markup 
just inside the opening <body> tag changes them to folder 
icons:

 

    <object type="text/site 
properties">
        <param 
name="ImageType" value="Folder">
    
</object>

 

(2) There are 42 built-in icons that you can 
reference by number to change the icon on a particular entry. Icon #13 is 
popular; it uses a globe to indicate that the 
link goes to the Web:

 

    <li> <object 
type="text/sitemap">
         
<param name="Name" value="My Web 
Site">
         <param 
name="Local" value=www.mywebsite.com>
         
<param name="ImageNumber" 
value="13">
         
</object>
    </li>

If you edit a TOC using Microsoft HTML Help Workshop 
then you can see what all the built-in icons look like.

 

 

(3) It is technically possible to create your own 
icons, but unfortunately this option is completely impractical since your custom 
icons must (a) exist outside the CHM, and (b) be referenced using an absolute 
file path.

  TOC Icons

  

  

  
Has anyone figured out a way to change the book icons in 
  CHM output? I’d like to change the colour of the icons to match our webhelp 
  output.

  
 

  
Any suggestions/ideas?

  
 

  
Kind Regards,
