Help with Notes Tab in Storyline 2
Mar 25, 2015

Hello, friends! I'm having a struggle with a course I'm building and I hope your beautiful brains can help me. :-)
We have created a player template that uses a navy blue background, and the text for the menu and notes tabs is white. (The template was created by someone who is no longer at the Bank.) We have a course where we pasted text into the Notes frame, and for some reason, it is showing up black when we preview the course. We can change the text color in the Notes frame to white, but then we can't see it without previewing the slide. We can't seem to locate where we can control the font color for the Notes tab - can any of you point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your time!
Shari :-)

Take a look in the Downloads section. There is a PDF job aid for Storyline that shows all of the elements on the player.

Thank you, Melanie...that is helpful! Our challenge is that there must be another place, besides the Notes panel in the Storyline UI, where you can control the color, because we've always been able to type into the panel with black font yet it showed up as white in the Notes tab of the player. For some reason, that setting got tweaked and I can't figure out how to untweak it! :-)
Would you be able to share your .story file Shari?
We are having this same problem. Did anyone solve it?
Please let me know if this was solved.
Hi!
When you install the latest update for Articulate Storyline, you may find that the background color for the Notes panel is no longer white. See this article to learn why it changed and how to adjust the color.
Hi Shari,
I just saw your post, and I'm not sure if you found a solution to this, but you can control colors from within the Player window. On the Home tab, click the Player button in the Publish group.
In the Properties tab, click the Colors & Effects button, then click the "Show advanced color editing" link.
Finally, open the "Edit item" menu to select the specific item for which you want to change the color.
Hi Ryan! Thanks for popping in to share with everyone :) It may not help the user here since it is a bit dated, but it may help someone in the future for sure along with Melanie's download link for the player colors she shared as well :)
