Formatting Markers
Jan 17, 2014
Hello!
I love the function of the markers, where you can hover over them and information appears.
But I also would like to format them, is that possible?
Can I make them bigger or smaller than what they are?
And can I add an image or letter on them?
If I cannot, can I have that same hovering interaction if I were to add a button which is much more "formatable"?
Thanks!

Hi Eleni,
Welcome to the community!
I've attached a story that may get you started...although if you're new to Storyline you may have more questions. If so, fire away.
Standard Marker on the right
Yes, you can add images to the standard SL Markers.
Insert the "empty" marker (the one with no icons on it)
Yes, you can create non-standard markers that have some of the functionality of the standard ones. I created two; each behaves a bit differently
The Blue Key Marker from Button
- Insert a button and choose an icon for it
Note: To make a round button, use the Button on the right (with the Home icon on it) and hold the Shift key down while dragging to insert the button)In Preview Mode
When you move your mouse over the button, the title appear. When you click on the button, the content appears. When you move your mouse off the button, everything disappears. This is different than the behavior for the Red Pencil marker below.
When you hover and click again, the button actions repeat.

Thanks for this!!
