Change size of marker icon
Hi everybody, is it possible to change the size of markers to be bigger than the default 28 x 28?
TIA
Paul
Hello everyone!
I'm happy to share that we have released a new update for Storyline 360 (Build 3.88.32474.0).
In this update, we have implemented new feature:
- Easily adjust interactive marker sizes to optimize accessibility for any screen.
As a first step, I recommend updating Storyline 360 to the latest version. Here's how:
If you have any questions on Update 88, please let us know in this thread or privately in a support case.
Have a great day!

Hi there Paul,
Thanks for posting your question here in the community!
No, you cannot change the size of the markers in Storyline. That would be a great feature request that you can submit here. In the meantime, you'll have to work with the markers at their existing size or create your own custom markers and pop-up layers. Hope this answers your question!

Thanks Nicole I have submitted the request, in the meantime I will try and create custom icons and layers.

I agree with Nicole that I'd like to see more control over the built-in markers.
One thing you can do that might work is to increase the marker's outline to an outrageously high number. Here's an example of some markers with outlines of 22:

Awesome suggestion! Thanks for sharing!

@Montse That's actually a neat trick. You need to make the border colour the same as the marker, so no nice white borders on dark backgrounds, but otherwise it works well.
One downside...you can't see the marker animation.

Great trick with the borders and I hope it can be made possible to increase the size of the marker soon too.

+1 for more controls on the marker icon

Another thing I have noticed is that as you reduce the storysize resolution the markers become bigger relative to other items on the slide (since they stay at a default 28 pixels) so if you need to make a marker interaction and aren't worried about other things use a low res storysize.
Hi Sanduni,
Thanks for sharing that you'd like some additional options for the marker icon.
If you could share your idea and use case for this feature directly with our team here, that would be helpful in understanding.
