Hi Everyone,

I'm new to storyline and I'm having difficulty setting my overall template. Can someone help me please?

I want it to look like my draft below:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

HI Rebecah,

You can set your back and next button but am not sure about the logo,you can only keep the logo left top side.if you are sure that you are using only next and back button in the course and you want the logo on the top then you can go with custom next and back button. please see the attached file, i have not used any default player features.

HI Rebecah,

Its very simple way just open storyline and follow my steps.

  1. Select player option then click on the features tab and deselect all the buttons ,like menu, resources, logo,notes,seek bar,volume.deselect all default buttons.
  2. Select colors and effects from top(just left to current player option) then click on "show advanced color editing" option.
  3. select edit item option(we are going to change the player color and reducing the transparency)
  4. select base+bg, now you will get top and bottom color,select white color and give transparency 100%
  5. follow the 4th step for all Base option, like base_ border,diva,divb,menu_shade and slide bg.
  6. now you have changed the color and reduce the transparency for player backgrounds and borders.
  7. Press ok button  once you finished changing the colors,now we have to take out next and back button.
  8. Select the slide properties and take out next and back button ( this you have to do it in all the slides)
  9. now we have taken out all default buttons.now we need to change the course size.
  10. select design from main option there left top you will find story size, you can give any size you want.
  11. now we need to add the logos ,back and next buttons.
  12. go to view option and select slide master(slide master is a master slide whatever you keep in the slide master its comes in all the pages)
  13. now you can import the images and  create back and next button ,add the triggers.

Now we have done it,once you changed the player colors and transparency then you can export the settings as xml and you can use it for other projects, you don''t need to do it again from starting.follow  the steps.

  1. Select the player option and go to current player option, there you will get export,import ,save,save as,
  2. now you gonna export your player settings,just export it and save it anywhere

this way you can export your player settings,i have attached the player settings xml, its just an easy way you can import and you get all the changes what i have done it for previous file. just follow the below steps to import the player settings.

  1. open a stroyline project and go to player properties and select current player option.
  2. import the xml file from your local system.

This way you can do it rebecah, if you still have a doubts the free feel to ask.
