Updating styles

When you uncomment the "extjs/resources/css/xtheme-gray.css" line in the index.htm file the gray layout theme is used by the Web Help frame.

However, various styles applied to topic content still require updating. For example, the related topic styles have a blue background applied but you may want to change this to gray.
