Specifying a Style Sheet

A style sheet includes a set of stylistic rules that describe how to present HTML pages, including the size, color, and font of the text. You can replace the existing style sheet with your own style sheet for the following HTML pages in the IDE.

To change the stylesheet for README.html and WHATISNEW.html:

  1. Go to the top-level of the IDE installation directory.

    This directory is the directory in which which README.html and WHATISNEW.html reside.

  2. Edit or replace the .css file.

To change the stylesheet for Javadoc documentation:

  1. From the main window, choose Tools and 
choose Options.
  2. In the Options window, expand the Code Documentation node.
  3. Expand the Doclets node and select Standard Doclet.
  4. In the property sheet, scroll down to the Style Sheet File property and enter the filename of the style sheet to use to generate Javadoc documentation.

To change the stylesheet for the online help:

  1. In the IDE's installation directory, go to the modules directory.
  2. Unjar usersguide.jar using the command-line jar tool that comes with the JDK.
    jar xf usersguide.jar
    
  3. Expand the usersguide directory until you get to the help files.
  4. Edit or replace the ide.css file.
