=====How to modify the About box of my ebook?=====

In an ebook, you can display its About box by selecting "//Help|About//".
You will get this window:
{{image class="center" alt="About Box" title="About Box" url="images/abox/pic1.png"}}
Each time you [[http://help.htmlexe.com/index.php?show=startproject.htm start a new project]], HTML Executable creates a default About dialog box. But you can of course **customize it** and insert your own text, images, links... The About box is actually a special HTML page.

**Steps to modify the About box**

In HTML Executable, open your project and
1) select "Publication Settings" {{image class="center" alt="Pub settings" title="Publication Settings" url="images/ipubsettings.png"}}
1) select "Behavior and Scripting" and in "System HTML pages", double-click on the "**About Dialog Box**" to open the HTML editor. {{image class="center" alt="System HTML pages" title="System HTML pages" url="images/abox/pic2.png"}}
1) you can now modify the HTML code for the About dialog box. As you may see, the HTML can contain some HEScript and JavaScript codes. You should leave this code unmodified unless you know what you do.{{image class="center" alt="System HTML pages" title="System HTML pages" url="images/abox/pic4.png"}}
1) click **OK** to save the HTML code and compile your project.

**Example**
Just insert some additional HTML code:
{{image class="center" alt="screen" title="screen" url="images/abox/pic5.png"}}
recompile and here is the new about box:
{{image class="center" alt="screen" title="screen" url="images/abox/pic6.png"}}

**Note**: only users of the [[http://www.htmlexe.com/register.htm Professional/Commercial editions]] may edit the HTML code for the About box.
