Content 360 Library: Icons & Shape Fill/Recoloring

Hello everyone,

I have come across some icons that must be formatted different within Storyline. With most icons, I have the Shape Fill option. This option allows me to recolor the entire icon with ease.

However, I have discovered the occasional icon that does not have a Shape Fill option under the Format ribbon. Instead, it has a Picture Shape option in its place. I'm assuming this is because Content Library 360 pulls icons from various sources and they are not all the same file types.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I get the Picture Shape option instead, I have tried to use Recolor to change the fill color instead. But selecting any color from the More Variations submenu does not result in a change. Interestingly, using one of the pre-set recolors does result in the color changing properly.

My workaround is to manually edit the icon in another software or to choose a different icon, but this adds development time and/or makes me use a second or third-best choice.

Has anyone else run into this issue before? It's a small inconvenience, but I love recoloring icons and this always throws me off when it happens. 😅
