Desktop to mobile - anyone successful?

Has anyone successfully created a mobile version of their desktop for courses? If so, can I see the example? I'm having difficulty getting both of them to work together for a quality look.

 

Thanks!

    Can you please be a bit more specific?  If you are talking about wanting to show your Windows desktop on a mobile phone, there's going to be some obvious problems.  Is that what you are trying to do?

     

    Or are you talking about having a responsive course that can be viewed either on a desktop computer or a mobile device?

    Hi - It would be using the built in mobile features within Captivate. So a true transition from desktop to mobile not just responsive rendering. 

     

    Thanks,

    Same confusion here? Why do you talk about 'responsive rendering'? Captivate has two different workflows for responsive projects:

    1. Breakpoint views: where you have full control for a maximum of 5 breakpoints which are 5 different browser resolutions. For devices in between those breakpoints the layou of the highest breakpoint is used.
    2. Fluid Boxes: where all content is stored in containers (fluic box). Both content in a container and the containers themselves can be rearranged by Captivate to fit each browser resolution of the device, whether landscape or portrait. Less control, but quicker workflow.

    Have a look at this post which has links to two examples of same topic:

    My suspicion is that you confuse with the result of some other tools which claim to have 'responsive' projects.
