How to remove the emboss effect in a dial?

May 23, 2024

Hello Storyline developers,

Does anybody know how you can remove the emboss effect in the dials, without using a picture of a circle?

Emboss effects are so nineties ;-)!

 

Other things I notice when working with dials:

* When you remove the border, the border gets darker (?).

* The default slider has a shadow, but when you go to Shape Effect -> Shadow no shadow effect is selected.

* I had a situation in which I selected 'no gradient's and the dials went black (?)

I've played around with the "No gradient" setting. It is weird. But by reassigning the fill color, I was able to get a plain dial: 

For complete (and less frustrating) customization, though, I suggest inserting a picture of the dial you want. Then select it, and use the Convert to Dial function:

That would of course work, but for just wanting to have a plain circle that would be a little overdone. And another point, is that if you want to change, for example, the border colour, you have to create a new circle/image first. That can become a drag if you want to experiment with different colours.
