Tabs not appearing in Storyline Player from Storyline 360
May 16, 2017
I have a course that I originally created in Storyline 2 and it worked fine after exporting, but I opened the same file with Storyline 360 and now in the player, the non-selected tab (in my case, the "Narration" tab) doesn't appear. It looks like it might be black text on a black background, because I can still hover over it and it shows up how it's supposed to.
I thought that maybe it doesn't like the shade of gray I chose, but I've tried some wild color combinations (bright red, blue, white, etc.) and it still doesn't show up until I hover over it. I've attached two screenshots, one that shows the non-selected tab not appearing/not hovered over, and the other when hovering over it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Dean,
Thanks for reaching out and including those screenshots! We're working through an issue in SL360 where the Tab Selected Text color is ignored in HTML5, and it sounds like that may be what you're experiencing.
Have you tried viewing the Flash version of the content to compare? Just change the published output URL from story_html5.html to story_flash.html.
I'd be happy to have a look, if you'd like to share your file with me.
Oh you're right, I had selected Flash with HTML5 fallback for Articulate Review and didn't notice that it was still set to HTML5 for export to our LMS. I'm re-publishing now, but I'm sure that was it, so thank you! We do have a limited number of users who will be using the HTML5 version, though, is there an ETA for that fix?
I don't have an ETA at this point, but we're hard at work on this issue, and I'll post new information here as soon as it's available. You're in the right place!
Actually one other thing I noticed is that previewing from within Storyline displays the HTML5 version. Is there a way to set that to display the Flash version instead? (Although it is kind of nice to be able to preview the HTML5 version.)
Great question! Storyline 360 previews HTML5 content. To see how your course looks in a Flash-enabled browser, you’ll need to publish it. Articulate Review is my favorite option for this because it's so quick and easy. 🙂
Ah okay, it'd be nice if you could switch, but I do appreciate the much improved HTML5 version and the ability to preview it at all, so I won't complain :)
