Using themes in a slide layer
Mar 10, 2016

Hello,
I'm new to Storyline 2 and I'm trying to apply a slide theme to a slide layer (i.e. I want the new layer to look the same as the base layer - just with different content). Is this possible?
Here's the goal: I have triggers on my base slide that a user clicks. When the user selects on of the triggers, the related layer shows up. I want that layer to follow the same them (design) as my base layer, but I want to share new information.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, Brad -- Thanks so much for reaching out here! It may be a good idea to share your file to help illustrate what you have in mind. And also, in case you haven't had a chance to take a look yet, please see the resources within this article on Working with States, Triggers, and Layers.
Hi Christie,
Thanks for your help! I've read through that article, and I'm guessing that I'm using layers for something that isn't intended.
If you look at the attached demo, my goal is to have the background of each layer look just like the base slide (i.e. I'd like the white background with the black rectangles at the top and bottom - rather than the dark background that fades to white in the middle).
Cheers!
Hi, Brad -- Thanks so much for sharing your file, and I will defer to your fellow community members to stop in with design suggestions you can try. And, for additional assistance, you are welcome to post over in our Building Better Courses forum, as well! :)
Is this what you want?
I'm sure there are more complicated ways of achieving the same thing (like putting the master layout on the layer master), but if this works, I'd stick with it.
Thank you Walt! This is really helpful.
