Remove border in Engage 360

Hi there, Michael.  You're right that you can edit your Engage color scheme and Player properties to reduce external chrome, but the border around the interaction will remain, presently.

Tell me about what you're going to ultimately do with your Engage interaction, and maybe we can brainstorm a solution for you!  In the meantime, if you'd like to see more editing options for the Engage templates, feel free to elaborate here!

I want the Engage interaction to have a transparent background so you see the PowerPoint screen. The only part of the Engage I want to show is the "+" buttons. I need the border to NOT be there.

Ok, I see what you mean, Michael.  Your Engage interaction appears as a separate item from your slides.  It can be included in the slide count in the menu, but it doesn't actually layer on the PowerPoint slide layout.

I created this quick mock up with a smaller size Engage interaction to demonstrate what I mean:

I understand what your need is, though.  In the meantime, would it make sense for you to use Storyline 360 to expand your opportunity to customize the layout?  You could import the existing presentation into Storyline and use markers to achieve the same interaction style.

Thanks for replying back!

Yep, we need this customization as well.  Just need to remove the border because it looks like a design flaw when there is a border within a border. 

Hello Tim and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

I appreciate you chiming in to share your thoughts as well. I'm submitting a feature request on your behalf.

In the meantime, you're welcome to take a look at the suggestions that Crystal shared as well.

I see this discussion is over a year old, but I was wondering if anyone has found a way to edit the Engage 360 grey "base border" (what it's called in Storyline) that surrounds the Engage interaction. I would like that border to be either white, to blend in with the white background of my Storyline file it's being imported into, or transparent, so it won't show at all. I've published the Storyline file to see if there was a difference between preview and published, but there wasn't. Attached is a screen grab of what I'm discussing.

I've read through many threads trying to find information about this topic for Engage 360, but have only found this one. I'm hoping that a new Studio upgrade since the last entry to this thread may have solved the problem. Any information would be greatly appreciated

Hi Beth

does this not work changing the transparency to 100% on the base properties? I think the object you want is the base border not main background but wouldn't hurt to change them all to transparent and see if it works

Tricky but finally found a way to remove the outer border ..

Thanks @Wendy

@Thierry Nguyen Cuu what properties did you adjust to remove the border?
