Theme Palette Changed Between Saved Versions

In the first version of my CBT, I selected a theme that is the closest to our company's theme colors. I created a second version where I changed the layout of some slides to give my client options. When I opened version 2 this morning to work on it, the theme colors were different although I haven't changed them. Why are the colors of the same theme different between 2 Storyline files?

  • Hi Stephen,

    Happy to help!

    We are monitoring an issue where the "set default theme" option does not work for custom themes. The built-in themes allow this option to work for newly opened Storyline 360 projects. Can you confirm if you're using a custom theme for your projects so I can add you to the bug report? I appreciate the screenshots you shared, and they seem to validate that you are using a custom theme, but I want to make sure since the screenshots are cropped.

    I'm looking forward to your response.

      If I did customize a theme, it was purely accidental. Would using colors not contained in the drop-down theme (Office, for example) create a custom theme? If so, I have done that. I was able to copy a slide from the first version over to the second version and then change all the second version slides to the theme I wanted. Probably not the most elegant solution, but it worked.

      Thank you,
      Steve
