Skins
Adobe Captivate is shipped with a default set of skins. You can create a customized skin by changing the various
options in the Skin Editor and saving the changes as a theme. Skins in Adobe Captivate include the following elements:
playback controls, border, and table of contents.
Playback controls
The playback controls, consisting of a playbar and a progress bar, allow users to control the movie when it is played.
The playbar displays buttons that control the movement of a movie. The progress bar tracks progress through the
movie, showing the location of the current slide.
You can change the appearance of playback controls using the Skin Editor (Project > Skin Editor). You can customize
the following options for playback controls:
Show Playback Control Allows you to enable or disable the display of playback control options for users when the
movie is played.
Playbar Overlay Allows you to place the playbar on top of the content. The playbare does not occupy any extra space.
This option is useful if you want to keep the size of the movie as desired by the author.
Playbar Consists of buttons that control the movie when it is played. The Playbar menu lists the available skins for
playbars in Adobe Captivate.
Position The position of the playbar with respect to the movie. You can place the playbar at any of the four sides of the
movie.
Layout The alignment of the toolbar with respect to the movie. You can center the playbar controls, align them to left
or right, or stretch them across the width of the movie.
