Having issues with Serenity template
Apr 28, 2018
Hi All, I'm having issues with the circular tabbed interaction in the Serenity template. My client wants everything in 16:9, so I copied the std slide from the template into a new widescreen project. What a problem it's been since then. I've resized things, changed icons, etc. But now I have an icon in the middle of the hover and selected states in the tabs, can't figure out how to get rid of it there and have it show up on the oval in the hover and selected states. I'm having a similar issue with some of the other slides as well. Have any ideas? I'm using Storyline 360 and have the latest updates as of this writing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It's a challenge to resize the slide when you have a lot of content that may not look right when you change the aspect ratio. Things will shift around and get skewed. It's just the nature of stretching or squeezing the objects.
An easier solution is to create a file at 16:9 to start and insert the template since they're offered at 4:3 or 16:9 options.
Tom, thanks for your response.
That's not really the issue, as I've already resized everything. The issue
is that the states and icons are not acting correctly. I was not aware all
the templates came in both sizes.

Tom, I've taken your advice and opened the Serenity template in a widescreen project and tried to revise the icons in the TABS INTERACTION LAYOUT. I'm still having the same issue! Please look at the file I'm sending and see if you can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
The attachment includes three slides:
The issue I'm having with BOTH my versions is when I replace the icons in the item group (the icon in the middle of the oval), it shows up in the middle of both the hover and selected states, but that doesn't happen in the original version. I've tried removing the icon from the item group and placing it on the oval states, but that doesn't solve the issue. I've looked at all the settings I can think of but don't see any differences between my versions and the original one, so I must be missing something.
I'm at my wits end, please help me!
This is the published version to A360

Look at the original and compare to yours. You can ungroup the tabs to make it easier to work with.
The icon has a hover state. It looks like the created the hover state and then moved the icon over.
Thank you, Tom, that's what I was looking for! Knew I had to be missing
something! I appreciate your help!

Hi Tom,
I'm running into something similar - I think. I'm not sure how to ungroup the tabs.
By default the background color is gray on the serenity process template and I'm trying to change that and cannot see a way to do that. I've attached an image to show the gray I am trying to change. If I ungroup the tabs will that allow me to edit the background color?
thanks!
The template is using colors from the theme colors. That color looks like it's text background color 2.
Looks like there's some weird issue with the shape not changing colors. I'll have someone from support look at it.
