Thanks Bethany, this is useful feedback for us.   Rupert ... View more

Hi Bethany, the current beta doesn't support that (unless you download the source code and customize it) but it is a feature we would like to add. Just to check, is it the color of the header in the app you would like to modify (i.e. the background behind the title/subtitle and logo.. Are there any other parts of the UI you'd expect to be able to assign a different color to? Rupert ... View more

Also, here's a different way to present a set of Story Map Cascades. On this web page, many of the clickable green dots open a Cascade story about that location (or scroll down below the map for a list).  http://conservationphotographers.org/expeditions/  Each of the Cascade stories that you can launch is actually embedded in a page in that website so that the website branding and navigation is retained, and the look and feel is integrated and seamless. For example see: http://conservationphotographers.org/?expedition=palau  This is a nice way to present a collection of story maps (see other examples here) but I'm not sure if it would work well for an annual report.

Here's an example I fished out of the Story Maps Gallery featuring Story Map Cascades embedded in a Story Map Series, one per tab: For the Fish: The Stories of Alaska's Fish Habitat Partnerships http://fws.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=c27f94d3a26442589b97f6e59a10d9b5  See what you think. Try also resizing your web browser to simulate what a mobile device user would see, or open it on such a device. Rupert ... View more

Hi Amy Could you let us know which Story Map app template you are using (there are eight of them ). Also could you share a link to your story map if it is shared publicly? Rupert ... View more

Hi Anika Sorry about the issue. First thing to check is do the places you added have names, images (both thumbnail and main image) and are they located on the map. The Shortlist viewer hides places that aren't completely specified, but you will seem them in the Builder. So you can see places in the Builder that you won't see out of the Builder. Also don't forget that in the Builder you see all places, irrespecitive of your map's current extent. But in the viewer, the tabs only show the places in the current extent by default.  If that isn't the issue could you let us know: 1. Are you creating your Shortlist from scratch or did create your Shortlist from a web map? 2. If you created from a web map, did you import point layer(s) features from that web map? 3. How are you manually adding places to your Shortlist? From Flickr pics for example? 4. Can you post the URL of the web map used in your Shortlist (it will have Shortlist Builder in its name), and if you created from a web, can you post the URL of that map too (if public) 5. Can you post the URL of your Shortlist app (if public) Rupert ... View more

Hi Ethan The Shortlist app you linked to is a customization of the Shortlist that you have created. The thumbnails do look stretched in your customization. However if I look at the hosted Shortlist app that is displayed by your customization, the thumbnails look OK: http://ecgisab.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Shortlist/index.html?appid=b8d0e8bea0a24152bb472b3ab9540a59  Ruperrt ...
