Showing Base Layer Objects on Popups - Not Working?

Hi all,

Long-time Storyline user, but for some reason I seem to be having a brain-fart.

I have several "popups" on layers over base slides, and I want them to be able to see, visually, a darkened base layer behind the popup, as it doesn't take the whole screen.

This seems very trivial, but I do not understand what I am doing wrong.

My properties for the layer do not hide any objects or any other layers, however, I still see nothing behind it when published.

  • Check to see if your layer has a background photo or fill by default. If you change the transparency of it, you can darken the base, but still see it.

  • Thanks for the reply.

    I went into my slide masters and removed a gradient background I had, put the fill to 100% transparency, so it's white/blank, but I still do not see anything. So bizarre. I feel silly

  • Oh my lord, it was the layer properties, you were right. I was checking the masters and the base slide.

    Wow, that was complicated for nothing. Thank you
