Edit Theme Colors - Selection

Feb 10, 2014

I am having problems with my old Theme Color from Engage '09 not displaying properly in Engage '13. It seems that in the new version, gradients have been removed. Is this true, if not, how do I create a gradient color.

Also, I am assuming the Selection option should display when I click a button. It does not do this. In my old color theme, a selected button displayed as green. I can't get this to work in the new version. It is forcing the selection to be white and I really don't want that.

I also can't seem to find an explanation for what each of the Theme Color options is responsible for. Some of them, when I make a change nothing happens so I have no idea what these options are for. What are the following options for: Interaction, Content, Control, Selection, Highlight?

Good Morning Kristen, and welcome to Heroes!

I don't see that Engage '09 color schemes supported gradients, and I don't see that Engage '13 theme colors support gradients either, although you can choose gradients when changing the Player Colors.  Can you clarify how you were applying gradients to your color schemes within Engage '09?

Generally, selected states in Articulate Engage '13 use the Selection theme colors. However, selected buttons in Process and Tabbed Image interactions use the Interaction theme colors instead (as shown here).

Here is a job aid for Engage '09 Colors, and here is a job aid for Engage '13 Player Colors.

Please let us know if you need anything else, and have a great day!

It looks like I didn’t actually apply the gradient, that is justthe way it was in Engage ’09. I have attached a zip file and the image called Old Version.png is what myinteraction looked like in Engage ’09 and the one called New Version.png is Engage’13. Looks like in ’13 it doesn’t display with a gradient anymore, so there probably isn't much I can do about that.

I am using the Tabs interaction type, not Tabbed Image. If I use the interaction themecolors, it just changes my background, not the color when a button/tab is selected.(see Interaction Theme Colors.png from the attached zip file).

Is there a way to change the selected tab/button color in a Tabsinteraction in Engage ’13?
