Text Boxes and font color have all changed color
I have a very big file I am using and when playing around with a slide, I somehow changed a setting. Later I went back to my slides and noticed that every text field in the entire thing had switched the font color (to a light tan) and background of the box (a dark green color). It used to have a white background with black text. I have too many boxes to change one by one. It changed my slides, their layers, and even all the states of different buttons and pictures. Is there a way I can fix this all at once (since that seems what I did to make it incorrect)? I assume it is the design tab, where I have custom colors, or the player where you can set up what colors the boxes should be. But the player colors are not showing up like every tutorial video and article I have read. Please help! Thank you!
Please note I already corrected some boxes on scenes 2 and 3. But everything else needs help.
the global text styles are broken
the fix the problem global, I need more informations
please upload two other versions of the .story file
- the last version with correct colors (important)
- the version before you fixed some text entry fields
I have a saved file of before the problem. I don't have a different saved file of after the problem before I fixed some of the boxes. Is there a way to get an earlier version somehow? I checked the temp folder and nothing is there. =(
I have repared the master slide direct in the file
the green background is now white again
but there are side effects with the text color, the button above and the textfield below have now also dark text
My computer says the file above is corrupted and then freezes the program. Is it possible to explain what you did, or is that too complicated?
Thank you for all your help so far. I really have no idea how it happened. =(
Hi Mary!
Happy to help with this!
I was able to open and preview the .story file Jurgen shared without issues. I'm curious if performing a repair of your Storyline installation would help to solve this issue.
If that doesn't do the trick please let me know and I'd be glad to assist further!
just tested with another storyline installation, no problems with
- Storyline 3.75 (your current version)
- Storyline 3.80
in the attachment is a zipped version of the same .story file (size 15.410.779 byte)
Thank you, Jurgen!
