The player options are specific to the entire project. If you're looking to change it up for each scene, you may want to look into creating a Storyline course with a chromeless player, and then adding all your own functionality.
Although it requires some 'post-processing', you may be able to accomplish what you're looking for in a limited way by using a tailored frame.xml file in concert with some custom Javascript. The file is located in the story_content folder of the output package. When publishing to the Flash output version, you actually have access to the functions that control layout and color schemes for the Player. I know it may involve some work, however it could be possible by creating custom xml nodes in the frame.xml and reference those by name through Javascript calls included in your presentation. I've successfully used this method for changing control layouts dynamically. You could likely do the same with Color Schemes.

Hi Eric,

thought as much - like the tip about the chromeless player though ;o)
Hope you get a chance to use it sometime!
