Thank you, David!
Yes, very glad to see the SL2 version.
Quick question, in the SL2 project file, I changed the Notes text to white, per the PDF, as our current module for the client has a dark blue background in the Player, so the Menu text everywhere is white.
But, now the Notes text in SL2 UI is white, so that makes it difficult for our QA people to check the Notes text within the SL2 UI because it's now white instead of black font. (Yes, the QA team revises the text inside the SL2 UI.)
But, for an hourly rate to the client, this impacts the Invoice because the QA people have to change the UI text to black so they can read it, and change it back to white so that it's white in the Published player.
Is there a workaround for this? Maybe I'm missing something. Looking forwar... Expand

Hey Jenise - You can format the notes from the slide level: http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline-2/how-to-format-notes-in-articulate-storyline
One way you can get around having to update the notes text for every slide is to use a theme color and accent color for your notes text: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqbEx1xRf7E&feature=youtu.be
Can you take a look at that video and let me know how that will work for you?
Thanks for the video, David. Very helpful.
For our client's situation, the font color in the Notes pane/area of each slide needs to remain the color black.
The problem is the SL2 player is a dark blue, per the client, and they want the font color in the Player's Notes pane to be white text.
Black text in Notes on each slide, but white text in the Player's Notes pane.
I noticed in your video that for selecting the accent color, it changes the black text to white font color on each slide.
So, that solution doesn't work for us.
What we'd like is probably a Feature Request. In SL1, we all could edit the font color for the Player (change it to white), and still have the black font color in the Notes area below each slide in the SL1 UI.

Hey Jenise - Yeah I think you should definitely submit a feature request.
Working with the accent color will at least allow you to swap the colors in the notes for authoring and publishing but it's still a workaround more than a solution.
Jenise, I am having the same issue. I have to keep the test in the UI Black for readability and for printing the script. But since we use the Black color scheme for the player, the black text isn't readable when published. If there is some way to vote on feature requests, I vote for this one.
Does anyone know how to change the heading text under the Resources tab? This is the text that reads "Here are some useful links..."
Also, the color diagram above, in this discussion, looks just like the one for SL1 (but with the new label descriptions). In SL2 I noticed there are colors for Info Panel and Info Panel Pop Up, but I don't see where this is on color scheme diagram, or even what an Info Panel is.
Your help is appreciated!
Thank you.
UPDATE: I was able to locate the setting for the heading text in the Resources tab in SL1; it is under editor>html_text. In SL2 this should work under editor>Text but it doesn't. So, I changed the text and colors in SL1 like I wanted then exported the player from SL1, then imported it to SL2 and the colors were updated.
This is horrible. Why can't we just select a color like we could in Storyline 1? I just started using Storyline 2, and if you change the text to WHITE in the NOTES panel, you can't even see it unless you preview or highlight... that's a total nightmare.
I"m using the SLATE canned player, which my client loves. But the text is black, which is impossible to read... so the only way to change it WHITE is to edit it in the NOTES section? Then, you can't easily read it when you're editing (without changing it back or highlighting it all... which is cumbersome).
I love SL2 but this is a big problem... hope y'all get it resolved soon.
One to ask...
I would like to match the scroll bar colours to a corporate scheme on a scrolling panel. I was adjusting it in the advanced colours and nothing was changing. But then realised that it only affects the scroll bar on the Left menu (which I guess the modern author uses very little these days!). Am I missing something here or is requiring a post to the development team?
Good question, Stuart. Currently, there isn't a way to change the color of scrolling panel scrollbars. That would make a great feature request though:
http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/submit.php?form=feature
The scrollbar colors in the player properties only affect scrollbars on the player.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Prince Praveen! Here's how to customize the seekbar:
1) Go to the Home tab on the Storyline ribbon and click Player.
2) When the Player Properties window opens, click Colors & Effects on the ribbon.
3) Click "Show advanced color editing."
4) Then use the "Edit item" drop-down list to change the colors for these items:
* Seek Control >> Main Background
* Seek Control >> Main Border
* Seek Control >> Button Icon
* Seek Control >> Button Icon Hover Color
* Seek Control >> Button Icon Shadow
* Seek Control >> Scrub Background
* Seek Control >> Scrub Border
* Seek Control >> Seek Position
5) Click OK to close the Player Properties window.
I hope that helps!
According to this player guide, there is a elapsed timer for SL2....true? how to enable it?
I searched the forum and found that this only in presenter? but this guide is for SL2, right?
Hi, Daniel. The timer is an option on each result slide in your Storyline course:
