Custom Launcher Appearing Incorrectly

Last Updated May 20, 2026

Issue

A custom launcher looks different when playing, previewing, or publishing — for example, it appears narrow with text broken into multiple lines.

Note

The same issue can affect SmartTips when Lock to Element is turned on.

Solution

This is most likely caused by the Lock to Element feature. When Lock to Element is turned on, the launcher inherits the CSS from the element it's locked to, which can override the launcher's original styling.

To preserve your launcher's CSS while keeping it locked to the element, add the following CSS:

.walkme-launcher-id-xxxxx {

display: block !important; position: relative !important;

}

Replace xxxxx with your launcher's ID. Once added, your launcher should display correctly.
