When a lightbox is open, the transparency allows the learner to see the prev/next buttons on the base layer. It is confusing to learners how to navigate or close the lightbox because of this. Is there a way to change the transparency or is there a way to disable the prev/next buttons on the base layer without creating a zillion triggers?
On my slide (attached), I have 5 buttons. Each button opens a lightbox. They do not have to visit all 5 buttons before moving on - navigation is free.
My learners have this issue with and without the navigation within the lightbox. I should also note that I'm using the Modern player where the X is not prominent, like the red X in the classic player. The problem really lies with being able to see the prev/next buttons on the base layer.
Ah, my apologies - I missed the words base layer in my initial read through. There isn't a way to hide those while a learner has a lightbox open but they aren't accessible on the main slide/player either. The learner would need to close the lightbox and then they could navigate forward/back using those.
I know a few folks have asked about changing colors within the modern player, so I can add your discussion to that feature request for changing the lightbox close button.

Hi Heather,
Have you looked at disabling the navigation controls within the lightbox? This tutorial will walk you through how.
