Move Progress Bar and Change Size

We have found that the options for the timeline in captivate didn't reall get us what we wanted. We disabled the captivate timeline altogether and created a smart shape that moves along a timeline and shows the total time of the audio and the current location. This allows it to be placed anywhere and is totally customizable for audio and video templates.  It uses javascript and captivate variables.  It displays time per slide vs. per course (which we found of little value).

Look at the options under Project > Skin Editor.  

You can position the playbar on any side of the screen and minimize it's size by not having it stretched.  However, there is no option to make it a specific length.

Feel free to request that Adobe make enhancements to this area if you want.  It's many years since there were any improvements to the playbar functionality.
