How to make custom radiobuttons states selected?

Dec 01, 2022

Hello E-Learning Heroes,

I've got a trouble when building a slide with radiobuttons. 

Earlier, like a year ago, it was possible to duplicate selected state of the RB and change the color of it, so it was either green or red according to whether the answer was correct or not. 

Since this spring update, when you duplicate selected state, the circle in the middle dissapears, so there is no longer evident, that this particular radiobutton was the one selected by the user after submitting the question.

We tried to add a small circle, but it's impossible to make it look perfectly centered. As you can see in the picture, it's slightly to the left. It seems to be ok in the story file but after export it just isn't anymore:
circle_not_in_center

We also tried adding a second trigger, which changes the "correct/incorrect" state into "selected" and combines the both of them: 

corr_sel_combo

But it's still different from what I need. I would like to have the radiobutton green as well. (or red for the incorrect annswer)

Is there any possibility how to achieve that state? 

Thank you for any suggestions.

Petra

I would definitely report a bug, but in the mean time, here are a couple of buttons you can use.

I edited the RB, set its initial state to Selected so I could see it filled in without handles. Then I formatted it to what I needed (Edit the colors, and change the corresponding Accent color, if there is no style color you like. Just be aware that will probably change every use of that color.), and used a snip tool to capture it as a graphic. I edited the button, duplicated a state, deleted what was there, and pasted the graphic.

I don't know if you want to do that much work, but it isn't any more work than placing a circle, and once done can be reused.
