Custom scenario scene background image in RiSE

Hi Nancy!

The scenario block background has a blurred effect to draw the learner's attention to the character and the scenario text. I'll let our team know you'd like the option to unblur the background!

Second the request to be able to unblur the background and as I posted on a separate thread, the option to remove the character as well. The reason being - Scenarios is the only programmable option in interactive blocks and it forces you down a path of using a blurred background and a character that is not consistent with most corporate enterprise design approaches. I would like to offer a short custom adventure or even an interactive quiz that depends on reaching the right combination of alternatives, all that is possible with Scenarios, you guys just need to give us control by making our background unblurred and no characters, please.

Is there a way to unblur the background? 

Ditto for the unblurred background.  Needing that right now and not able to make it happen.

Thanks.

Hey Nancy & David.

You can remove the blur in the background by editing main.bundle.css. You probably want to Unminify the CSS first to make it more readable.

Just look for scenario-block__background and remove the filter:blur; parameter.

There's a bunch of other good stuff around here for playing with the look and feel of the scenario block. 

Hi there, Adam. When uploading or choosing an image for scenario backgrounds, we recommend using high quality “landscape” rather than “portrait” images. Other than that, there are no restrictions on dimensions as long as your image file is under 5 GB.

Thank you for replying to my issue. I am taking pictures of background s on my phone. Would that suffice? When I go to insert an image Rise will not allow me to select the photos.  I have included the photos  I would like to use for backgrounds in my scenarios. Thank you in advance.

Thank you Sam for the link to the image converter.  This method worked perfectly!! 

Great to hear it, Adam! Thanks for the update.

I'd love to have an unblurred feature as well and something else. I'd like the ability to remove the character in a discussion. and here's why. I'd like to replicate an online scenario between a website visitor and a bot..... so my "background" will be an ipad (not blurred) and the conversation will fit over the ipad, to look like it was on the ipad. Something like this... but without the character.....
