It looks like her's works, but her player has a few different choices on the Advanced Coloring area than mine does (Storyline 2). I made almost everything 100% transparent but I still am left with a gray background.
Did you set the page background to transparent? If you have maybe check the slide master or the slides themselves to see if they have a background colour applied.
Thank you, I am almost there. I made all of those elements transparent (and all of the ones on the Base drop down). I am left with one gray boarder line. Is there something I can do?
Are you seeing this gray border while previewing the player template? Previewing the entire course or in your published output? Could you share a sample screenshot of where you're seeing this gray border to help us pinpoint what you may still need to change?
Glad the published output is working for you - Storyline doesn't have a true "full screen" option. You'll want to look at the player/browser settings you utilize though and see if they help with your overall screen size.
So smart! I set the dimensions as 1000 x 562 It is way bigger and very easy to see now. If someone has a different screen dimension, will it screw up their view of the course?
So if you set the overall story size dimensions, and they're viewing it on a smaller screen, they'll likely see the scroll bars for the content that exceeds their normal window dimensions.
Oh, I see. Now If they don't maximize it, they should see the project without the scroll bar right? Because it would be smaller but would still show all the content without the scroll bar?
So if their screen size, is smaller than what you've set your story size too, then they may see the scroll bar no matter what as it'll be too big to display in a normal maximized browser.
If their screen size is similar/larger than what you set as the story size, than they likely shouldn't run into any issues with scroll bars.
Again, some of this is also dependent on the other settings you choose in terms of how the player/browser will scale - so to ensure your users are seeing the course at the size and dimensions you'd like, I'd recommend setting the story size to match the majority of users screen size (say a normal laptop screen), the player to be locked at the optimal size, and then resize browser to optimal size (close to the player) or to resize the browser to fill the screen.

Hi Tracie,
Here are the directions for Storyline 2's chromeless player. As Nancy mentioned you'll also want to check into other elements such as the slide page background or similar.

Sorry, I didn't see this post. I attached the previews. I see that the boarder doesn't show when I publish the project YES!
Here is the follow up question... How can I create the course so it fills the entire screen when the screen is maximized?
