Spotlight

QSM Spotlight theme

True to its name, the Spotlight Theme puts every question under the spotlight. As your quiz takers navigate through your quiz, the active question remains fully visible, while the upcoming questions are shown at slightly lower opacity. Creating a clean, focused experience that guides attention naturally to one question at a time.Whether you’re running personality quizzes, assessments, or certification exams, the Spotlight theme delivers a premium, distraction-free experience that keeps your quiz takers engaged.

Spotlight Theme’s Highlights

1. Focused Question Experience

The Spotlight theme uses opacity to direct users’ attention naturally. The current question is always displayed at 100% opacity, which is fully in focus. While the upcoming or previous questions dimmed to 90% opacity, they are visible but still in the background. No distractions, just clarity.

2. Smooth Transition

The theme provides smooth transitions between questions using up & down arrows or scrolling between questions. Plus, you can use the ‘OK’ button provided or the ‘enter’ key to move to the next question and the ‘Ctrl + enter’ keys to submit the quiz. 

3. Accessibility First

The opacity changes are designed to maintain full text readability and contrast compliance at all times. Your quiz takers get a beautiful experience without any compromise on accessibility.
