New in Storyline 360: Improved Player Controls
@staff
I have a problem. When rise was first launched the block feature the auto colour was #FAFAFA which was fine and I produced all my storyline slide backgrounds to that colour too, in order to make the block blend seamless.
Previously when using the modern player as I had all controls turned off no trace of the player showed, now since I have chosen to feature the accessibility option it has activated the player in white creating a border around my blocks.
If I use the classic player with more control I do not get the full accessible control.
I now face the prospect of having to go through all my storyline blocks and the rise insert block to change them to white or black only. Can the player not include a #FAFAFA option at least?
Hi Louise,
I have a couple of suggestions that might help.
1) Accessibility controls are also available through the player's shortcut keys menu, displayed by pressing shift + ?. Even when the gear control is not displayed, learners can turn on Accessible text ctrl + alt + t or Zoom to fit ctrl + alt + z. And you, as the author, can also turn on Accessible Text by default, if you want, using one of Storyline's built-in variables:
2) For the classic player, the accessibility controls only show two settings. The Zoom to fit option isn't in the list since the classic player has always supported browser zoom. The player's shortcut keys menu shift + ? also works in the classic player, so the gear doesn't need to be visible.
I have also added your comments to the feature request that we have for making the colors of the modern player more customizable.
Please reach out to me if these suggestions aren't clear, or if I've misunderstood the issue you're reporting.
Regards,
