Shrunk icons in SL2
Sep 29, 2014

Hi,
Since upgrading our projects to SL2, there's a few issues that have come up.
Aside from some lost animations, which isn't too bad to deal with considering the new Animation Painter tool, the icons on our buttons have all shrunk. The workaround is adding a space at the start of the text and resizing that to enlarge the icon, but this causes alignment problems.
Is there a way of avoiding this, and has anyone else got this problem, or are we a special case that continues to struggle with these little bugs?

Hi James! Do you have your player customized? I'm not seeing that behavior in my courses. Do you see the same behavior on a newly created course?
Hi! I dohave a custom player, but even when going back to the default player on SL1, and then either upgrading and importing to new, it still has the smaller icons.
It's worth noting that our player size is customised to 984 x 680, which might be something to do with it. I have a feeling the icon size is now linked to the slide size.
EDIT: If I import the course from SL1 into a default slide sized SL2, the images are all scaled but the buttons come in the correct size with the correct sized icon. This didn't change on SL1 in this way when importing to a different-sized player/slide.
Hi James!
Would you be able to share the backup story file so that I can go through the update process myself?
Was there ever a solution to this posted? I am having the same issues but i am not using a custom player.
Hi Sue,
I don't see that James shared his file here. Are you able to share a copy of the SL1 file that you've been upgrading into Storyline 2 to see this behavior?
