Is this possible?

Hi Ra'eesa! You've got some great questions, and I'm happy to help here. 

1. Yes, you can change the background of an Engage Conversation! Simply click Colors >> Create New Theme Colors. The gray background you see by default can be changed under Control. 
   
2. Were you looking to export variables from Storyline? Although that's not something we can offer support for, this older thread should point you in the right direction! 

Thanks Alyysa,

Very helpful.

Hi Alyssa,

Sorry to bother you again, but is it possible to make the background transparent? Or to use a background image?

Regards,

Suleman

Hi Suleman,

No apologies necessary! That's what we're here for. ☺️

You can make the background transparent by dragging the Opacity slider all the way to the left on Interaction, Content, and Control. 

There isn't a built-in way to add a background image in Engage, and I haven't seen an example of a workaround here in the forums. Hopefully someone in the community who has achieved this can chime in and assist!

Hey,

Thanks Alyysa.

The opacity issue doesn't help too much in Storyline 360. When I set everything to zero and import the engage file and publish it, it still gives a white background. This means I cannot have a background image effect.

Ah, thanks for letting us know you're using the interaction in Storyline 360. 

If anyone in the community has ideas for Suleman, I encourage you to chime in here!
