Change color of next and prev buttons
Hello people,
how do I change color of next and prev buttons in Storyline2 ?
I can't find where to do this?
Thanks for helping
Hi Sebas
see the attached pdf.
Access the options from Player > Color & Effects > Show Advanced color editing then look for the following items to edit (pic right)
Thank You very much. Done a good job by creating it. WOW
https://articulate.com/support/article/Compatibility-Between-Storyline-360-and-Storyline-3-Project-Files This article talks about enhanced color contrast - but what continues to be problematic is that the next and previous buttons are NOT enhanced and do not meet the minimum standards for color contrast (with the light background) For the triple-A WCAG contrast demand - neither the light nor the dark backgrounds meet the standards -
Found it! Thank you very much Wendy!
This PDF showing names for color adjustments is great! It's dated 2015. Has a new one been created?
Hello Peggy,
Good question, and we do! The job aid attached to my reply should help with identifying the classic player colors in Storyline 360 and Storyline 3.

Anyone know if its possible to change the colour of a default player next button on a per slide basis? I'd like to highlight its time to move onto the next slide by changing the colour of the next button.
Hi Hugh,
Any changes made to the player will be at a course level, and you won't be able to adjust on a per slide basis.
You may consider creating your own custom navigation if you'd like to include this feature in your course. While a bit older, here's an article that provides some neat inspiration:
Is it possible to change what the next/previous button states look like? I want to disable the next button on slides until the timeline triggers it to be enabled - but the state for disabled is just greyed out. I would like to change it so that the disabled state is more obvious (like making it red) rather than have people think that perhaps there is something wrong with the navigation that the next button isn't working. The greyed out look is very subtle, and people may think there is something wrong.
Hi Wanda,
Happy to help here!
At this time, there isn't a way to change the built-in player's next/previous button's states. To avoid any confusion for learners, what may help is to set the next button to hidden. This would hide the next button until the timeline triggers have been enabled.
Another option that Ren shared is to include custom navigation. This would allow you to adjust the next/previous buttons' states and apply a more customized design.
