Hi all I know how to change the default colour in the settings, but can you set a default colour for the font? It seems to be set to grey, and I need to go and change each text block to black.

Hello Articulate Rise - From reading this chain of posts, it appears that fonts are still defaulted to grey. What this means is that I'll have to go through the entire course I'm working on, block by block, to switch the font to black. With accessibility at the forefront of our work, the default should be black (if defaulting is required) and then custom changes would be for those who want to switch to grey. Please work on this issue.

It appears that the global font color has been an issue for several years with Rise. Is there any plan to make it easy to set the color for the entire course to one color?

Dear Articulate 360, Can you please give us an explanation as to why this is taking up to 3 years (and probably more) to sort out this issue? I respect that you wish to leave the default as #313537, but would it be possible to give your customers the option to use any default font colour they want? I understand that you have other processes that are taking priority - but this seems to also be a priority to your customers. Thanks and wish this gets sorted out soon.

It would be nice to be able to change the default font in all areas of Rise. Particularly because research shows that black font is more accessible for those with visual impairments, or vision-related disabilities; and it's my own aim, as well as that of my firm's, to make our content as accessible as possible. I understand why the trend toward gray happened, but there must be other ways to enhance the UX for all learners...and developers? Like adjusting font size, or tighter, more concise writing... And frankly, my own eyes are not that great, so after working in Rise for several hours, I am feeling the eye strain myself!

Hi! I have the same issue. We have a need of branding all our trainings according to our corporate brand. And that includes the font color. The trainings can sometimes be quite long so it`s annoying and it takes us a lot of unnecessary time to do this manually for each text segment. That also goes for background colors to each segment. It would be great to be able to change the default also for that, even though maybe not the game changer the option of changing the default font color would be. I mean, the USP with Rise is that it is easy to use, but this makes it less easy, so it´s actually quite counter productive not to have that option.

I'm throwing my hat into the ring to get the option to set a default font colour for body text. Very annoying that in 2 years + it hasn't come to fruition.

I'll add to the chorus requesting this feature. Changing the font colour of every block of text unnecessarily takes up so much time and is very tedious. This feature must present some significant coding challenges to Articulate as that seems to be the only explanation for why such a basic function has been on the request list for over 3 years.

+1 to all of this. Working on building a Rise template to be used with multiple courses and the client is very focused on accessibility. I'm having to manually change every single block template to black font, it's an enormous waste of time.

Ah yep, am across that for Storyline.

Hopefully someone has some tips for Rise as well.

Ah yeah, for Rise there is no option for the color of the font in the theme customization, have you tried to upload a custom font? I don't know if it can work but we never know!

Otherwise you'll have to change each block one by one..

I would also like to be able to set a default font colour throughout a Rise project. Has there been any update on this?
