Classic player on iPad

Hi there, Sam.  Did you make any changes to the Notes font color?  Here's what I'm seeing...

Storyline preview with tablet in landscape mode, using Classic player and Slate scheme:

Same Storyline output on iPad:

I changed only the Player to Modern Player, and here's what I saw in Preview for tablet:

Let me know about the Notes color, and we'll figure out what's happening on your end!

Questions:

- In SL 360, where do we specify NOTES background color for Desktop and separately for iPad?

- Is there a way to preview iPad layout while authoring on a desktop?

Found the preview icons for portable devices.  Never noticed them before.

OK... I've found the tablet preview buttons...

Unfortunately, changing the PLAYER > Color Scheme to any choice will NOT change the tablet background color for NOTES.  It's stuck on white background.

Please advise a solution.

Sam

So... Tablet NOTES always have a white background.  At some point in the past the NOTES text was colored white(ish) and SL is preserving the author's choice of text color as it should.

Now what we need is a way to say: NOTES text color is not colorized.  It doesn't seem to be an option. Once an author colors a piece of text.  It's done.

Is that right?

So no way to reset text to default in Storyline. I'm resorting to examining the .story content by taking it apart into 7zip.

The folder in .story /docProps/summary.xml has the notes and styling. Every sentence in the NOTES section has a ForegroundColor and LinkColor style applied to it.  These need to be removed.

It will take a regular expression to do this and it isn't easy.

If anyone else has this problem, please PM me. We can do this for a fee.

Thanks for sharing those details Sam. I'm seeing the same behavior in my test file.

I'm sharing my file and the details you've shared here with the team to take a closer look.
