[Feature/Bug] Cards Widget: Perspective and mouseover overlay customization
Problem:
- The.flip-card-containerin the global stylesheet uses theperspectiveproperty. This value cannot be adjusted via the GUI or thedesignOption.json.

- Make theperspectivevalue adjustable in both the GUI and thedesignOption.json.
- Allow configuring the color and behavior (show/hide) of the mouseover overlay in the GUI anddesignOption.json.1 vote -
[Bug] Quote Widget ignores styling and lacks clear component references
Problem:
The Quote Widget does not fully respond to styles defined indesignOption.json.Details:
- The containerscontainer-quotes-text,slide-item-quotes-icon-container-1, andslide-item-quotes-icon-container-2ignore custom style definitions and seem to have structural inconsistencies.
- Incontainer-quotes-card, there are no documented or discoverable component names (e.g.,quoteText,quoteIcon1,quoteIcon2), making it impossible to target, enable, or disable these elements withindesignOption.json.
- Several layout properties in the global stylesheet cannot be overridden locally withindesignOption.json.Suggestion:
Document all component names and ensure that each element of the Quote Widget can be fully styled and…1 vote -

[Feature] Custom CSS as a first step toward an open widget architecture
Problem:
Widget styles can currently only be customized via designOptions.json. Many widget structure elements cannot be targeted or modified globally.Suggestion:
Add the ability to include a custom CSS file at the project or theme level. This stylesheet should allow global adjustments and overrides of Captivate’s core CSS.In the long term, Captivate could – similar to the Adapt Framework – offer an open widget system, where custom or modified widgets are possible. Custom CSS would be a useful, practical intermediate step that provides immediate benefits and paves the way toward a fully modular architecture.

Make 'Auto Fit Height' include manual Padding Inputs
In previous updates, I was able to add my custom padding and then select 'Auto Fit Height' to ensure that the content would stretch all the way across the screen, but it still maintained my padding settings.
Currently, when I check 'Auto Fit Height' and preview, it will remove any padding and press the elements super close together - making it a useless function because there's no breathing room on the page anymore. So what I'm doing as a workaround is manually adding tons of padding so the images/text look centered vertically on the slide. Please bring back the original…

[Feature] Extended background image options
Problem:
Current background image settings in Captivate are rather limited and don’t fully reflect the flexibility of CSS.Suggestion:
Add support for the following additional background-related properties and options:- Background attachment — Currently only
scrollis available. Addingfixedwould enable simple parallax effects. - Background position — Currently only horizontal alignment is supported. Vertical alignment (
top,center,bottom) and relative or absolute positioning (percent, pixels) should be possible. - Background repeat — Only
repeatis currently available. Separate control forrepeat-xandrepeat-ywould be useful. - Background size — Currently only
containandcover, as well…

13.1 bug
13.1 bug - Captivate turns black after locking my computer (CTRL + L on Windows). Does not reload or open. Sometimes data is lost due to lack of save prior to blackout.

Enabling a border around click boxes
Having a border option available around a click box would greatly help when trying to draw the attention of a learner.
Currently my only workaround is to create a highlight box, add a border to that, then place the click box over the top of it.
Having to do this needlessly doubles up steps needed for a slide.

Bug: The update to 12.6 and Tab widget content
The newest update pushes all content left-aligned when published and in preview mode; however, when designing, it shows with the spacing.

provide better support for xAPI
When I publish to xAPI using Adobe Captivate (modern and classic), I cannot get it to generate POST statements to my Learning Record Store when I run the content. Spent a lot of time working with my friend Claude to troubleshoot, but no success.

Publishing over an existing published folder of the same name (as after making revisions), erases the contents
If you make revisions to a project that you previously published to a folder, and you re-publish over that same folder, it erases the contents of the folder and does not create new published content. You end up with a folder that only has the project.text file in it.

feedback caption missing
I have a MCQ slide with multiple answers. If I do not select enough answers, but the ones that I do select are correct, there is no feedback caption shown. It moves straight to the next slide.
eg.
my MCQ has 5 possible answers
of those 5 answers, 3 are correct
when answering the question, if i only select 1 or 2 correct answers and nothing else, the feedback caption does not show.1 vote -
Add a completion dialog to the "Remove Unused Items" function
The option "Remove Unused Items" is helpful and seems to do the job of cleaning up the project file and reducing its size. However, under Captivate 12.6.0 there is no completion dialog to inform the user that the function has been completed. A useful dialog might be something like the following:
All unused items have been removed from this project.
48 items were removed, reducing this project file size by 586k.

Ability to Widen the images in a Checkbox
I am using images in a checkbox but I am not able to widen the checkbox to fit in a wide sized image. The only size available to me is something almost square. Would it be possible for a checkbox or the multiple choice question slides extend in size depending on the image chosen? I am attaching an example that shows the issue. The first image is a bit small for users to see but if it could be extended to the right, it would be a lot easier. The image attached is just an example.

Add speed adjustments to the AI voices
In other programs with AI voices, we can adjust the speed. The new voices are really good, but it would be nice to slow them down or speed them up depending on the need for a slide.

Being able to copy and paste images
It would be helpful if images can be uploaded via copy/paste. Similar to how PowerPoint works, when an image is pasted onto a slide an image block is used. Also being able to copy images to reuse them without having to go through the file pathways to find the image source would help simplify and speed the process.

Upgrading to Captivate 13 has broken the 'download background image' function for software sims.
I used this function regularly before but when I upgraded to Captivate 13 trying to use this function now just haywires Captivate out. After clicking this button I am unable to change slides or save my progress, forcing me to just force close and restart Captivate.
