Player Issue - Very wide outlines
Apr 05, 2016
So I adjusted with the color scheme of my player and then when I started previewing the course, the outlines of the player were very wide. I could not get them to go back to normal. I know it has nothing to do with the larger story size of the course because it was already that size before, and the player was appearing normally. I could not get the player to go back to normal. I tried copy and pasting the slides into a new story file, and every time I did the player would adjust to that size in the new file. I finally had to abandon that file and work from a previous version to get the player to look normal again. Why would the player look this way? I didn't even realize there was a way to make the player have wider sides. What's even stranger is that the player looks normal in the preview screen when you go to edit the player settings. Here's a picture of what the player looks like. As you can see the outline of the player is quite wide. Any ideas? Is the file just corrupted or something?

Hi Diana!
The number of pixels added to the overall size of your course depends on the elements you include in the player. See this article for details.
I assume you see the same thing if you utilize this player in another course, so probably not a corrupted project.
The margins around the player were not an issue before and it was the same size. Here is the same size player, but as you can see the margins are normal sized. The outline is thin, not wide like the last screenshot.
Hi Diana! Is your story size the same as well? Do you have the files that we could take a look at?
