STORYLINE LIGHTBOX BACKGROUND (MODERN PLAYER) NOT TRANSPARENT

Hi Judith, 

Your "what happens vs. what I need" screenshot was so helpful! Thanks for including that.

When you use a lightbox slide, the entire slide will always appear, including the white slide background. 

What you need is really a layer. A layer can display with a transparent background so you can see the slide behind the layer.

Would using a layer rather than a lightbox work for your needs?

Hi Alyssa, 

No. It doesn't. That's why I included my example. I need over a 40 popups to be available from anywhere. To include this in the main masterslide is possible but an overkill of data for all slides where this is applicable PLUS the technology to get this done (heaps of triggers and stuff) can be avoided by using lightboxes. 

Too bad we can not make the background of the lightbox disappear. Can you make this a wanted feature perhaps? 

I think this feature would be very nice to see in the future. For sure now because the look-and-feel of the lightbox functionality is improved big time! Just the background removal would be awesome and I would absolutely be over the moon ecstatic... :-)

Hi Judith,

Always happy to pass along feature ideas to our team. 

It sounds like one of the options below would fit your needs:

• an ability to change the size of your lightbox (so it could only be your small white box), or, 
• adjust the slide's background transparency 

I'll keep an eye out for similar ideas and see what momentum is around this concept! 

Yes Ashley that would be great. Thanks for your reply.

Judith,

Ow my.... Zsolt Olah. I've tried it out and it works like a charm. You are my hero!

Thanks a lot.

Hi Lea

Remove the <script> in the beginning and the  </script> in the end and just write:

$(".lightbox").find("rect[id^='slide-bg']").hide();

That should work! :-)

Yes, Judith's suggestion is correct. You don't need the <script> tag within Storyline. (You would need that if you write your own script in an external HMTL document.)

Hi! For some reason, I can't make it work :(

I tried to trigger it from the lightbox timeline, from it's master slide and even from the slide that triggers the next slide as a lightbox, but in all cases, when I publish it, it still shows the lightbox background.

Any ideas? 

Hi,

Is there any way to adjust the outside of the light box transparency to make it so you don;t see much of the main slide behind it?
