invalid answer box

Hi Samantha,

Phil's absolutely correct :)

I just wanted to share this in case it helps with your project:

Articulate Support - How to create a custom "Invalid Answer" message

Best of luck with the project!

Thank you for your help!

I modified the theme colors and got this...

which is close to my design, but how do I change the response text color?

thanks again

Samantha,

It looks like you modified the player colors/theme colors, but didn't go the route of the custom layer - is that right? Or did you create this using the method that Phil suggested?

I believe you're still using the built-in prompt, so I'm going to share the details with you below.

You can modify the color for both the "Invalid Answer" prompt title and the text that's displayed below:

To do so, you'll want to modify the player colors for both Window > Text (for the title) and Editor > Slide_Text (for the text).

Here's a job aid that will help with any other elements that you may want to change:

I hope this helps!

woo hoo! awesome

Thank you both so much!

Happy that helped, Samantha!

Have a wonderful day and best of luck on the project :D

I must be missing something because when I look at the pdf that shows what each section is called, I'm not finding the Window>bg option under Show Advanced Color Editing for the quiz feedback box.  It keeps showing up as gray but nothing in that list is gray.  I am using Storyline 2

Hi Jane

it's under notifcation window >background

It didn’t seem to change anything when I look at it through preview this slide. Do you have to publish it completely before you can see it?

No Janice

my example above was to change the colour in the player and then preview on a quiz slide.

Do you want to upload your .story file and let me know what colour you want it changed to and I'll take a look for you?

I did change the color in the play and tried to preview it on a quiz slide but it was still gray instead of the light blue I was hoping for. It’s a very large file.

I have a light blue selected, but it continues to look like this:

Hi Janice

if you're responding via email the attachments don't work so I can't see what's happening. Have you tried closing your file and re=opening it before trying again.

I can do a short video of what i did if you think that might help but sounds like you are following same steps I am just not getting the result.

Sorry, this is what I selected:
[cid:image001.jpg@01D1A7A4.4B38BDE0]

But this is what I get when previewing a quiz slide. I also tried doing a full publish but that didn't' make any difference.

I also tried closing and reopening the file, but that didn't make a difference either. I'm stumped!

What about creating a new file, changing the player colour and then importing your current file in? I'm running out of idea here - lol

Thank you, I will give that a try. I appreciate your help.

Hi Janice!

Looks like Wendy was offering you some fantastic assistance here. It is hard to understand what was going on since the screenshots didn't post in the forums. Curious if the import assisted. Just let us know if you need further assistance.

Opening a new project and importing the first scene did not give me the color of the quiz response I wanted. I have it set to a light blue but it still shows up as gray. Please let me know how to send you the smaller version of the file.

Hi Janice!

You are welcome to share here in the forums via the Add Attachment option in the bottom left of the reply box, but if you need to share privately, you may do so here.

Attached is project with just a couple of quiz questions.  As you can see, I have changed the Notification Window to a light blue, but it continues to show up gray.

Janice,

To send a smaller version of the file, you can create a new project, and import just the quiz slide from the current project and attach it. That will include all the masters and settings.

I just did that. Thanks.

This is how it looks for me when I preview it..

This is what I see.  So what do I need to do?

The Invalid box is changed in the player Like Wendy suggested, and you already did. It is only used if the user clicks submit with making a selection. The Correct and Incorrect boxes are changed in the Feedback Master.  View -> Feedback Master.  Then select the topmost master, select the gray shape, Click Home tab, and shape fill.
