Here's how to choose effects and fonts for Articulate Engage interactions. (Click here to learn about theme colors.)
- Go to the first tab on the ribbon (its name corresponds to the type of interaction you're building), and click Interaction Properties.
- Select the Colors and Effects tab on the left edge of the window. (This tutorial covers effects. To learn about creating, editing, and selecting theme colors, see this tutorial.)
- Choose how elements of your interaction should appear on the screen. Select one of the following animation effects from the Animate steps using drop-down:
- Full: This means that each transition is fully animated. When learners move through your interaction, elements on the screen move into place in succession.
- Fade: This means that elements of the screen fade into place in succession (rather than moving).
- Appear: This means that all elements of the slide appear at once; the screen doesn't build with any fades or animated movements.
- Choose how images and videos should display. Select one of the following styles from the Media border style drop-down:
- Rounded Corners: This gives your media slightly rounded corners and a shadow.
- Drop Shadow: This adds a shadow and a thin border to your media.
- None: This displays your media without any shadows or borders.
- Choose when you want to hear sound effects. Select one of the following options from the Play sound effects drop-down:
- No sound effects
- On click
- On hover and click
- Choose a Title font. The title font is used for the title of your interaction and the title of each individual step.
- Choose a Content font. The content font is used for the details of each step in your interaction.
- Click OK to save your changes.
