Client isn't seeing the font colors correctly - TempShare

Aug 10, 2020

Hi,  I'm working in SL3.  I developed a course and shared it with the client via a tempshare link.  The client is seeing the text in white font but I created it in black font.  When I view the tempshare file, it appears correct to me.  I have tried two web browsers and three different computers.  I can't replicate their issue. Any idea what is causing the issue and what I can do to correct it. I have include two screenshots of what I see and what the client sees and the SL3 file for just that slide.  (Although the issue is the whole course.) I look forward to any guidance or recommendations.  Thanks!

Good morning, F L!

Thanks for sharing these helpful clues. It's a head-scratcher when you're unable to replicate what someone else is experiencing, so I'm glad you reached out!

I used Storyline 3 Update 10 to publish the file for Web in the HTML5 only format. Then, I hosted the output on Tempshare. Here's a quick recap of my test:

Next Steps

  • What happens when your client views my published output link on their machine?
  • What browser(s) are they using to view the course?

Thank you for responding. I have an email out to the client with similar questions. I'm waiting for their response.

In the meantime, someone suggested the client might be using the high contrast accessibly setting on their machines. It's on my list to test this morning. I'll report back what I find out.

Thank you!

I appreciate you keeping us up-to-date, F L. I look forward to hearing more about what you learn.

I took a look at your file and I'm seeing the same thing that Katie shared above.

One point of confusion for me is that you mentioned creating with black font and the developer_view.png that you shared showed black font as well.

However, when I take a look at your project file, I'm seeing white font:

From Katie's demo above, I can see that she was seeing the same thing. Have I misunderstood the question or do you see black font when editing in Storyline 3?
