I'm creating my own gradient button colors. And I want to save the gradients I make into the Gradient Fill> Preset Colors panel. Is there a way to do this?
Alternately is there a way to make my button style show up in the Button Format window accessed from the ribbon?
It's kind of incredible, and a sign of how little respect Articulate have for their users here, that such a fundamental and basic thing like saving/deleting gradients is still not a 'feature' despite it being asked for over 4 years ago.
I'm in agreement with you Diarmaid. I just did a search and found a thread that Maureen Dunlap asked how to do this (6 years ago), and yet still nada squat. We should get this free as an update in SL3, or do we need to shell out another $1500 for a NEW squirt of the tooth paste?
I made a slide and added a shape, 10 or 20 if you like. Sampled a logo (or anything for that matter that you want consistency) and save that slide as lets say Coca Cola or my gradients. Import that slide into your new course, kinda like a side pallett thing'e. Copy and paste here you go and use format painter. When doing states it's really a PITA for reasons.... it's a state.
Thanks for reading, now, back to Grunge editing with Articulate Storyline 3.
I would also like to have custom gradients possible. Part of the corporate design for which I do a lot of elearnings involves a gradient. I am fed up having to make custom buttons in other programs and then import them as a picture with custom states into Articulate.
Among other things too. Questions for future developers..... Is Storyline falling behind or is it still worth the frustration and price tag?
(As the CEO scrambles for a meeting of the minds) Subject line say's: Welcoming ideas to stop the ship from sinking!
Just throwing another log on this fire. Would really like to be able to save my gradients as presets... it's crazy that you have to manually recreate them time and time again for screen backgrounds. 7 years and waiting.
Yes, please! It's very frustrating, and the preset gradients also have some very odd color combinations. Please listen to users and add a way for us to create our own gradients. Thank you.
Support has flown the coop. Storyline 3 users has been left behind so you need to shell out more funds for this feature, or you need to ask for it....good lord! It's the tube of toothpaste syndrome. You buy the tube of toothpaste thinking you'll get more than just one squirt or two (let's say bug fixes or very small features) then maybe a weeeee little more of a squirt, you look at it and say I just bought this don't I get a'little more than this?
Nope, you need to buy another tube of toothpaste.

Whit,
Unfortunately, there isn't a means of accomplishing those two goals. But they do sound like neat feature requests if you'd like to submit.

Whit, that is a great request idea. I'll put that in and hope others do too.
Would be great if you could import photoshop gradients

Just came here to say I would also like to save custom gradients. Feature request submitted. :)

Checking in if this feature was added.
It's bonkers that we can't do this.

Sure would be nice to add this feature.
