Old theme background appears on feedback slides

Mar 20, 2015

Today I changed the theme design on some ecourses. The new theme displays fine on the main slides, but the old one still appears on the feedback slides for correct and incorrect answers and I can't seem to get rid of it. If I try to cheat by pasting the new theme background right onto the slides and send it behind the other elements, weird things happen like the borders on the feedback boxes dropping out. Hiding background elements gets rid of the old background, but then you see the grayed out slide content with the questions and answers. In the attached you will see the main, question/answer slide with the new background, and the old background lingering on the feedback slide.

I have a the same issue however my changes have been made in the feedback master but are not being picked up.

I have changed the feedback master to be white text however when I try to have this applied to a Incorrect or Try again or Correct it alters everything but the text colour and leaves it black

slowly but surely ripping my hair out with the little errors this software throws up.

also is the Design area under my project its showing various themes but saying under them used by 0 slides ??? why appear then another issue possibly related the same theme name is appearing 6 times

4 of the times saying used by 0 slides

1 instance of used by 1 Slide

and another instance saying used by 264 slides 

I have checked to ensure the theme only exists once in the App Data section which it does but no idea why this is happening at all.

Help would be much appreciated and put those who do at the top of my xmas card list.

Hi

I would love to however the file is 400MB.

I have 2 masters in my feedback essentially everything is the same apart from one slide which I have not used yet.
It’s a blue box with white text when I click this it looks fine in master view.

Return to the actual slides I want to apply this to I can right click and see the master view layout as I have set it out however if I click it the text appears black rather than white.

Hi, Ewan -- Many thanks for your reply! With a larger file, some find that it's helpful to pare down it down to showcase just the behavior they are seeing and we're able to better assist from there. Also, if you intended to share screenshots, etc., unfortunately, I am unable to see them in the forum post, as any attachments sent via email are not accessible in the post itself.
