Apex Theme Cover Image
Hi,
Are there any tips for working with the Apex Theme cover images, I've selected the Split Left Image and it's incredibly hard to crop the image at the right size so that part of it doesn't dis...
Hi Everyone!
I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360!
This update fixes the issue you ran into, where a thin line appears at the bottom of the cover photo when the course is zoomed out if the Apex theme is used. There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available!
Please let me know if you have any questions about this update or the issue you reported!
Hi,
With APEX theme (left apex ) (RISE):
If the cover page title has 2 lines and the user's browser zoom is at 80%, we're seeing a 1-pixel non-white line that should not be there at the bottom. (1-pixel line is about 2 or 3 pixels below the left Apex.
The line seems to be the same shades possibly as the graphic. Line is across entire width of the Cover pg. (1 line titles are fine. Any other zoom % is fine.)
Am guessing that a 1-pixel openening is splitting inside the white apex covering? In other words, if the Apex theme uses a covering of white to create the triangular white downward slope at the left, that extra piece of white seems to be aligning about 1 pixel lower than it should.
Clue maybe: This issue is reminiscent of the old Fireworks days (and low processor speed days, low memory days) when in web design, we used to let Adobe Fireworks generate an image to be cut into several smallpieces; Fireworks would also generate the code for the alignment/install of the pieces inside a table. (The goal back then -- was for a fast load speed of the browser so user would see a page start to load & not have to wait for entire 1 piece graphic to load).
That being said, it seems like the apex corner (white) is aligning about 1 pixel lower than it should align (when user has browser at 80%). So based on Fireworks days, was guessing the Apex theme creates the apex alignment via CSS (similar to the HTML table days), but aligns down an extra pixel.
Hoping there is an easy fix for this. (Have been testing longer & shorter (height) graphics in the theme but no luck; thus this post.
Hi Diane,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this issue.
I tested the behavior on my end using a new Rise 360 course and can confirm that I was able to replicate the issue. I've filed this as a possible bug with our product team. I've also added this community post to the bug report so we can notify you as soon as a fix is released. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
I remember those Fireworks days Diane! Just as I had mastered manually cutting up a psd into a perfect tabled layout, Fireworks came along. But this issue with Apex cover has been mentioned before, I diagnose the issue and provide a fix you can add to your course, hopefully Articulate will implement this too.
