The scroll bar color is still not an element you can adjust within Storyline (1 or 2). You'll want to share your thoughts as well in the form of a feature request.
This would be a great feature, especially for software simulation training. Currently I am using scrolling panels that house images that also have scrolling panels for our application training. It would be hugely helpful to the learner to reference the scrolling panel scroll bar with a different color. Any other suggestions on how I can call out the scroll bar for the learner?
If you didn't already - go ahead and submit the feature request. In the meantime you could look at adding objects to the timeline that would highlight it or point to it for only a designated portion of time?
And I added a big red arrow that points to the bar, hopefully that helps. Our application is busy and uses LOTS of scrolls which makes it a little challenging at times.
FYI - I just sent in a feature request as well, for this issue. It really needs to be changed! My scroll bar section looks lame, in the published version, and detracts from the "wow" in the rest of the slide.
Hi, Joanne -- Thank you so much for reaching out here, and for submitting your feature request!
Ideas and suggestions are absolutely valued and are carefully considered by our Product Development team. You may find it useful to take a look at this oldie-but-goodie blog post on our Feature Request Process by Product Operations Manager, Gabe Anderson.
So, I came up with an ok solution (hopefully temporary need): I can't make the scroll bar itself change color, but at least can add a color shape (rectangle) and place it behind the scroll box, so it makes the scroll bar and content appear as one, instead of the scroll bar hanging out alone, looking silly.
Many thanks for stopping back in with the solution you discovered, Joanne! Updates are definitely helpful for those who may come across this thread seeking assistance in the future.
is there any update on this? It would be nice to have scroll bar look as we want any time soon. I'd be over the moon if video controls were customisable as well.
Please add my request to this one - at the very least make it so that the width of the scroll bar can be changed. Only workarounds I've tried without having an arrow spoiling the slide are to adjust the spacing so that a line of text is chopped in half, making it more obvious that there is more below, and having to put instructions in text above...
Thanks for taking the time to share how this feature would benefit your courses! I've added your comments to our feature report. I don't have any updates to share as our team is prioritizing other features right now. If our team decides to reroute, we'll update you in this discussion!
I actually have foud a workaround for this, and its very simple. Just use the slider, ad a couple of boxes as layers, ad a main text and give it 3 stances. In each one, just move the text up and made the slider go to each of them. I attach the example in SL3.
The slider lets you, in the format options of the main manu in SL, adjust it color, shape, etc. Both for the thumb and the scroll section.

In a word - no.
Sorry - cannot be done at the moment.
Would make a great feature request, as it's one of those things that we should be able to do to match branding etc.

Ugh!
Ok. Thanks Bruce.
I submitted the request.
PS - Our users also requested the scroll bar color be changed. The users thought the bar was disabled.
Thanks for sending along the feature requests!
Hi can anybody tell me if this feature was introduced?

Hi Eileen,

I did :-)

Thanks for the quick reply and ideas!

Any update on this feature (formatting scroll bar in a scrolling panel). I assume this feature request was initiated 4 yrs back!!
No update yet, Chiranjib. We're still monitoring how in-demand this feature is, so I appreciate you letting us know it's important to you. Here's a closer look at how we manage feature requests.
Hi Articulate Team

Hi Joanna! Thanks for checking in. This isn't one of the features on our roadmap at this time, but we'll let you know if that changes!

Colour would fix it all!
