My lightbox looks just like my background image. I have bars on the side which appear fine but the reset of the image appears dim. Can anyone think of what could be causing this. My properties are set to Dim non-selected layers (if that helps) so that my layers take on the same theme as my first layer. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
I'm probably missing somethinghere, but i| didn't see any triggers in your file that LIGHTBOXES a slide. Did you mean 'Layers'? Layers will display content on top of the baselayer, unless you hide all baselayers or style your layer content so that the baslyer content looks dimmed. When you use a trigger to lightbox a slide, that SLIDE will be displayed on top of another slide, with the underliying slide content dimmed.
Hi Michael - There is a trigger on slide "The Migrant Health Care Bill" note button Click for More Information on the Migrant Health Act" That trigger should launch a lightbox. At least that is how I have it setup. The lightbox appears over my content but it appears dimmed out like the content. There is a close box to the upper right corner and everything. It displays fine in preview it just does not display well in my LMS or in a web browser.
Michael there is another lightbox that is not working right and it is on slide "Start-Up of New Health Centers." Click the button that has the 19 on it and then when you are taken to the layer that reads "19 Program Requirements" click on that heading. That too is a lightbox that is displaying dim. That is if you have the time. Thanks in advance. Maree
Thanks for sharing the .story file. I took a look and the reason you're seeing it dimmed like that is the background of all the slides are set to partially transparent. I changed that and republished your course here and it behaved normally.
This is fantastic and thank you Ashley but I don't understand what I did to make the slides set to partially transparent. And how do I go in and fix the slides that I have now? Sorry to be so dense. :)
Or, from the top design tab - look at "background" and choose format background. That way you can apply it to all slides at once - which is what I did for your version I published.

Additional information: This only appears to be an issue when viewing from my LMS or a browser window.

I know just select the slide and right click and chose format, move the slider to 0 transparency. Right.
