I wanted to try out a full screen background. I don't think this reads quite well yet visually but technically I think it works. It makes Storyline feel a little less contained and if the background is big enough, it works pretty well with different resolutions.
In the story.html file I set background="FILENAME" in the Body and strWMode = transparent. I had to right click on the slide itself and choose Format Background and set transparency to 100%. Then I have a full screen background with the Storyline content transparent back to it.

- That's a great work around David. What's the resolution of the bkg image?
- Hi Alexander. Good question. I am not sure. 1920 width I believe. If you fade the right and bottom edges with the background being the same color, it will nicely blend for any resolution.
- Very cool David. I like the full screen background a lot and I think it works visually and technically. Nice!
- Love the full screen background David very effective - and the informal narrative ;-)
- I think that works great David!
- this looks great david, I will definately try is in the future
- Thanks!
- Smart technical solution. I like it a lot!
- Nice to see new innovative ideas. Like this, David!
- Really cool! I like it. I tried to see if you did the same for the html5 output but I couldn't find it.
- Hey Zsolt - I had not done the HTML5 output yet but it will likely be very similar without strwmode. I'll try and get HTML5 done soon.
- Nice, thanks for sharing your tricks David.
