Editing Lightbox Slides

Oct 10, 2013

When creating a trigger to Action:  Lightbox Slide, the slide you choose is auto formatted to have a small red "X" button in the upper right corner of that slide.  How do I delete that button, as I want to create my own trigger to close the lightbox?

Please advise.  Thank You. (^_^)

Hi Walt!

I know how to make the "fake lightbox", but it's really not a good solution for the project I'm working on, since I have wayyyy too many slides.

I've also used the Slide Master with a popup for some other information, but my "help" icon (which is what I'm using the lightbox slide for) has to be in the player, as per previous courses with produced for this client.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Laura,

The lightbox is a set size based on your story size and the overall scaling/size settings you use for publish as Michael detailed here.  Here is a video tutorial on creating a custom lightbox (for Storyline 1 - but same principles could be used in Storyline 2) so you may want to utilize that if you're looking for a better sizing.
