Replacing hotspot with transparent shape

In a bid to avoid the spinning ball/hotspot problem I am trying to replace all the hotspots in a course with a transparent shape. I have an 'incorrect' layer that pops up if the learner clicks out...

Hi, I know this thread is old, but I can't seem to find information regarding this.

For Accessibility, I made sure each of the buttons have a transparent solid color shape. However, I can't find any information on whether transparent shape needs to be in both Normal state or both Normal / Hover state?

Hello Rob,

Thank you for reaching out here! First, I'd like to get a bit more info from you so I can better understand what you're trying to achieve:

  • Is your main goal to increase the contrast ratio?

Here is a tip from our How to Design an Accessible Course article that might help guide you:

If you overlay text on a background image, reduce the brightness and/or contrast of the image to make the text easier to read. Or, place a semi-transparent shape between the image and the text to increase the contrast ratio.

If you need more guidance, I encourage you to connect with one of our support engineers to help you! Feel free to share your .story file here, and someone on my team will reach out!
