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, 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:

  1. The original one I resized 
  2. The widescreen version of the template where I changed colors and pictures, states, etc.
  3. The original version of the template layout

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

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!
