Using markers as icons only (Storyline)

Ha ha!

I kind of just stumbled across a solution while doing something else...

In the buttons formatting menu:

• Insert a rounded button
• Hold SHIFT to size it proportionally(This doesn't work very well; you can only produce smallish circles. After a certain size it starts to warp and no longer remains circular)
• Select icon (this will be added to the button)

Nevertheless, I'm still looking for a way to insert the icons just as standalone icons, i.e. without needing to add them to a shape.

Cheers.

Hi El,

I may be wrong, but I don't think the button icons can be inserted as stand-alone icons but if you create a button with the icon you want to use and then make the button fill and button border as 'no colour', you are left with just the icon which you can re-colour as required.

You can then right-click on it and then select 'Save as picture...' to save it as a .png for future use.

You can insert icons sort of

Insert a button add an icon, delete all the states, format so all is transparent, resize the icon by increasing the font size

I would leave it as a button as it is a vector so will look nice save as an image will give fuzzy edges

Although leaving the icon as a button creates a prompt to add a trigger to it in the triggers pane. As this can't be deleted, you will end up with a load of unnecessary triggers which could cause confusion during development - certainly confused me when I started out
