Help CHM file with black background

Post by AZJIO »

If your eyes get tired of a white background, then try with a black background.

I have translated some parts of the help files as follows:
1. Extracted both help files into folders.
2. Wrote a script that compares text blocks in both help files. If the block of text is the same in both help files, then the same block is taken from the Russian help and copied into the SpiderBasic help file, thus I made 1000 replacements in the files.
3. Compiled the help file.

If anyone is interested in scripts, I can lay out.

When I attempted to use this CHM file, I discovered that on MacOS the help pages are HTML files. I used BBEdit to do some find and replace of my own, swapping white to black, and yellow to gray. Here's the result:

Download: spiderbasic-dark-help.zip
Extract spiderbasic-dark-help.zip and copy the entire spiderbasic folder to:

Code: Select all

/Applications/SpiderBasic.app/Contents/Resources/help
This will replace the help HTML files with these modified dark versions.
