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.

This topic appears important to the customers who use RISE. I am surprised that you are able to add complex features such as scenario blocks but haven't been able to add the ability to change the default font color. This seems strange to me.

  Hi Janet,
  
  Thanks for your feedback. I sense that you're frustrated that this feature hasn't been implemented and I totally get it. The waiting game is never easy!
  
  However, I want you to know that we're doing our very best to bring our users the features they want and need as quickly as possible.
  
  We receive hundreds of feature requests every week, so prioritizing them is no small task and we take it very seriously. Here's an inside look at how that process works.
  
  Let me know if you have any other questions!

Is there still no update on the ability to set a default font color in RISE?

Hi Karel,

Rise 360 doesn't have a default font color feature, but thanks for letting us know you have a need for that!

Yup. A more thought through theme engine for Rise would be welcome!

  Hi, Nikisha. There isn't a formal voting system for feature requests. We read each of your posts (and cases), and we take into consideration the number of people impacted when prioritizing them. Here's more on that process.
  
  Thank you for adding your voice!

I too would like to see this feature added. It would help save time.

This is needed, especially since you can't save your custom colours in a swatch on the colour picker and therefore have to remember the HEX code of your text colour everytime you need to change it.

I have been yearning for these and just assumed it would come naturally. It is time-consuming to say the least, and frustrating in the sense that it seems so basic but seems to be too out of reach. Surely there are more complex features you have done without too much prodding. I just want to default it to black. That alone will be a big leap and save countless hours.

Interested in following this thread and getting notifications. I agree with all the comments having to go and change each and every block to change the text to black is a time suck.

Just wondering if you get more feature requests you get for this, will it be moved up the priority list?

This would be very helpful and save a lot of tedious and time consuming work! I just submitted a feature request for this as well and am hoping if enough people submit one for this it will become a priority.
