Closed Captioning button – strange ‘ex-mark’ – any ideas?

I haven’t been able to overcome this strange ‘ex – mark’ appearing on my Closed Captioning button.

When I remove the image .png from the publish package, the CC function goes dead.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Much thanks-

this is annoying – requires way too much customization for something so simple

Thanks for the heads up, James. It is a workaround of course but it also means that the learner cannot close the CC anymore using that button. Personally I don’t like the ugly grey border, because you took out almost all functionality of the playbar except that CC button. Your custom navigation solution fits nicely in the design of your course, but that is not at all the case for that border. Maybe I should have added this in my first answer. If it is OK for you, go ahead with the CC editing.

LW – the CC button functions properly.

CC text flows in that gray bar. i masked out client info.

fyi – in some spheres designers get overruled by customers. especially on existing template designs that pre-date current dev team.  i pick my battles.    v.r k-

Button will work fine, but when there is no CC, you are stuck with that awful gray bar (you can edit the color in the Skin editor).  I just wished one could make it transparent…

BTW: did you see this blog for creating toggle buttons?

AFAIK it is meant to close the captions. Very annoying of course, since you need the playbar to have the closed captions being visible. Just an idea, because I didn’t check it out: add a custom button to your custom navigation buttons to toggle CC on/off and take it out from the playbar (which you may also set in overlay to avoid that ugly grey border). Of course you need to check out if the captions will not mesh up the layout of your slides.

Hello Lieve,  My colleague found a workaround for now.

He found away to hide the “x” from Closed Captions display which is being controlled in the CSS file (see attached).

Thank you-

JK
