Dark mode for Storyline 360
Hi there
Just wondering if there is a way now (or will be...) in SL360 settings to have the build tool adjustable to a dark grey background and tool bars like in the MS Office suite and Adobe CC p...
Another vote here for dark mode! And surely it meets your criteria (from How we manage feature requests):
We consider the value this potential new feature would offer to our customers. We ask ourselves:
- Will this feature meaningfully improve the experience of working with our software?
- Will it benefit a majority of users?
If we feel like the answer is “yes!”, we bring the request to our product development team.
Jeff, maybe the issue here is that articulate needs to retune their "feel likes" as we are here telling you and EVERY major software developer has FELT like it would benefit their users. I think though what "feel like" actually mean for articulate (now that storyline is on every job description in the training development field) is "Will people stop paying for storyline if we do not include this?" The answer is no. Because the users do not often get to choose which software they will use AND there are no other 'real' options. Thus, we do not get dark mode or the equally AMAZINGLY SIMPLE ability to include formatting default in slide notes or on slide notes in template files (I know that has been a request for at least 9 years).
Your reply makes the case as to why there is no excuse for it not to be added by now. Storyline is now the industry standard. As you said, it's on every job description, so that means Articulate is making millions annually on this product. From individual licenses to corporate licenses. No excuses that they don't have enough money to hire more programmers to add these types long-requested features. Dark mode for software this day and age is just as standard as Storyline has become.
There is another thread just as old as this one of people requesting native 4K monitor support. Same situation as this one. There's no reason Articulate can give as to why these standard features haven't been added by now. But as you said, there are no other real options, so they have no reason to care.I wouldn't call Adobe Captivate "no other real option". I only use Storyline because it is what everyone at my place of work uses (over 100 licenses). I would not hesitate to jump back on Captivate, given the choice.
