Which SWF files control appearance?

After publishing a SCORM Breeze file, I want to change the appearance of the skins and background without having to re-publish the PPT file. Are there SWF files that I can copy and paste from another, correctly published, project? If so, which SWF files are they?

Oak,

One way to modify the "theme" applied to a published presentation is to massage the vconfig.xml document.

It can be found in the data directory of a published ppt deck. Open vconfig.xml in Notepad, for example, and what you're looking for is found at the top of the document. Specifically, look for the <colors> node in the xml and you should see 6 tags related to the interface colors, which are all identified by the <uicolor> tag. The block of information should look similar to this:

<uicolor name="primary" value="0x######"/>
<uicolor name="glow" value="0x######"/>
<uicolor name="text" value="0x######"/>
<uicolor name="light" value="0x######"/>
<uicolor name="shadow" value="0x######"/>
<uicolor name="background" value="0x######"/>

Couple of things:
1. the # symbol that I included here references hexadecimal color code typically used in HTML, XML , etc. You do not want to eliminate or change the 0 that precedes the x as in 0x#######, or color changes that you make here will end up with less than desirable results.
2. regarding the "name" attributes:
Primary controls the way that the main panels in Breeze are displayed. This references the Notes, Outline and Playback/Nav area of the Breeze content interface.

Glow does what it says: it creates the outer glow on clickable elements such as the play/pause button, paperclip icon, etc.

Text also does what it says: allows you to change the color of your text of the Breeze panels.

Light references the highlight bar that is displayed in the Navigation/Outline and the Thumbnail panels when you're on a specific "slide" in the presentation.

Background controls the background gradient behind the ppt slides.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Rob
