How to remove the emboss effect in a dial?
Hello Storyline developers,
Does anybody know how you can remove the emboss effect in the dials, without using a picture of a circle?
Emboss effects are so nineties ;-)!
Other things I notice when working with dials:
* When you remove the border, the border gets darker (?).
* The default slider has a shadow, but when you go to Shape Effect -> Shadow no shadow effect is selected.
* I had a situation in which I selected 'no gradient's and the dials went black (?)

"without using a picture" are you saying you do not want to use a custom dial?
. . . you want the provided one to look different?
Hello Ron,
I just want a white circle with a minimum border (flat design). That's it, nothing more ;-)!
I've played around with the "No gradient" setting. It is weird. But by reassigning the fill color, I was able to get a plain dial:
For complete (and less frustrating) customization, though, I suggest inserting a picture of the dial you want. Then select it, and use the Convert to Dial function:
Ah, okay, so I have to remove the gradient and after that reassign the fill colour and then it should work. I will try that out :-)!
Judy's solution may be the ticket. But if that is not what you want, it is incredibly simple to make anything you want into a dial - https://community.articulate.com/articles/articulate-storyline-360-user-guide-how-to-work-with-dials#custom
That would of course work, but for just wanting to have a plain circle that would be a little overdone. And another point, is that if you want to change, for example, the border colour, you have to create a new circle/image first. That can become a drag if you want to experiment with different colours.
