I am interested in using a totally blank Storyline player (without any interface elements, navigation buttons etc) so that only my interaction is visible. I tried to customize the player in the software but couldn't achieve the desired effect - any ideas??
The closest you can come to being totally blank is to remove all of the buttons, etc. And then set the border colors to a solid color and then set the HTML background color to the same color. This should give you the look and feel a playerless skin. There will still be a border there, but you won't see it as it will match the background.
The other alternative, in case your slides aren't a solid colour, is to make all the player options 100% transparent so the only shape visible is the slide itself.
Thank you Mike and Helen for your valuable advice. Going back to Mike's post I understand now that the Prev and Next buttons in the player (see below) can be disabled in the slide properties (presumably for each slide individually)?
I'm glad you got some help from Mike and Helen here, and yes you can disable the Prev/next buttons for individual slides as well using the slide properties as Mike showed. If you find that you've disabled them within your Player set up, and you still see a set of Prev/next buttons on slides when previewing, you'll want to check that you did not enable them on an individual slide as that would override the player default.

Thanks Mike, that was helpful, how about removing the Prev and Next buttons? I don't seem to see an option to do that.

Arek,
So, it should look something along these lines:
Arek,
You can do this in Storyview.
