Articulate ribbon icons not displaying well in ppt2007

Heidi,

This will sometimes happen when your display setting for the operating system is set at 16bit. Try adjusting this to 32 bit.

If you are unsure of how to adjust this, please let me know what operating system you are using and I will forward the appropriate instructions.

Hello David,

I am using Windows XP as operating system. Could you give me the instructions on how to change my display settings to 32 bit ?

All other ribbons in the powerpoint 2007 look fine. All my other application ribbons look fine as well. It is only the Articulate ribbon icons that have this issue. So I hope that by changing my display setting to 32 bit will not affect my other programs.

Heidi,

Our icons were developed at 32 bit color. Changing the system color depth will not affect functionality for an other app and in fact might look slightly better. Please use the instructions below to adust this setting in Windows XP.

Because the menu options and controls in Windows XP can be customized individually, instructions are provided for both the default and the Classic views.

1. From the Windows desktop, select Start | Control Panel.

...or if using the Classic Start Menu...

Select Start | Settings | Control Panel.

2. Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.

...or if using the Classic View in the Control Panel...

Double-click Display.

3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Click the drop-down button in the Color Quality field and select 32-bit.
5. Click OK.

Note: If 32 bit is not listed, either your display card or current display resolution does not support 32 bit. Try lowering the display  resolution (ie: 800x600).

I hope this helps!

Hi David,

Yes,  that solved my issue !
