Extra spacing under menu item with submenu
Dec 12, 2013
I am having problems with extra spacing appearing after menu items which have a sub menu. Also a dividing line appears. I can hide the dividing line by making it the same colour as the background, but how do I either remove the line altogether and/or change the spacing between menu items? I can't find anything about cell padding anywhere in the settings.
Also, being able to specify the size of the font for the menu items would be extremely useful.

I have storyline version update 3: 1305.2012

Hi Tracy:
You can only change the global font family for the whole player and the colors of anything in the player.
I have found that changing the font family does effect the spacing from scene names to their slides.

We a using a corporate template. I'm not allowed to change the font.
And how many fonts would I have to try out to get it right?
Why are the extra spaces there to start with?
If I don't indent them and create a submenu, but have them all on the same level on the menu then there are no extra spaces.
Hi Tracy:
Here is an example of using the default Articulate font in a menu in SL: http://www.products-and-services.ca/courses/demo/story.html
Notice the Sub menu items do not have extra spacing.

The font being used in mine is Articulate.
Hi Tracy and welcome to Heroes!
As Dennis mentioned, you can't change the font size - but you're welcome to request it as a feature.
As for the extra space, it seems to be the default option when there are items in a sub menu and that menu is collapsed. Again, if you'd like to see support for more formatting in the menu, the best route it to send along our feature request to our development team.
I have sent requests to your development team. Not had any acknowledgement back so no idea if they were received.
It does look messy in the navigation when there are extra spaces between items. Does anyone have a workaround?
If we can change the font size in the menu page, that will be GREAT! At this point, it's too small to read. :-(
Dennis, how can you move the Resource and Glossary as a separated button AND create the narration script box on the right side??
Hi Tracy,
I see that a reply went out on December 13 confirming receipt of the feature request and that it was shared with our team, but that we cannot guarantee that a particular feature will be included in a future release. You can learn more about our feature request process here:
http://www.articulate.com/blog/feature-request-process/
You'll want to check your junk or spam folder for an email from Support@articulate.com to ensure that our emails are going through to you.
I presumed that was an automatic acknowledgement, not sent by a real person.
Anyway, it's the spacing between menu items that's most annoying and looks unprofessional.
Why weren't these features included from the start as they seem like basic functionality to me?
I tried different fonts. Makes no difference whatsoever. Besides which I'm not allowed to change the font in our corporate template. Is there something that controls cell padding in the navigation menu?
Hi Tracy,
There is not a way to update cell padding within the navigation menu, but depending on your level of comfort with coding you may want to look at using the Storyline SDK to more fully customize your player set up.
