Is it possible to automatically change the theme color of the course from Dark to Light (and back again to dark color if the learner changed his mind)?
Context: During one of the design reviews, the stakeholder mentioned that their branding color is too dark and asked if it's possible to automatically change it to a light color if the learners experienced "eye fatigue" staring at the dark color.
This is possible but would require some work with states or copying your whole course and having a dark and light theme. Here are the proposed solutions:
States
Create a filled rectangle to be your background
Add a state to that rectangle for the Dark or Light mode, whichever isn't default
Add a trigger to this element to change from one state to the other depending on clicking a certain button
Repeat step 2 and 3 for any text/picture elements onscreen
Pros:
Won't mess up completion of course
Cons:
Could be time consuming
Much more room for error if you miss a state or trigger for changing the state
Concurrent scene
Create your story like usual using either dark or light mode
Duplicate the scene(s) and change the theme to be the opposite, dark or light
Add a button to each of these instances and set a trigger to take you to the corresponding slide in the other mode.
Pros
Relatively easy
Cons
Will require a custom completion trigger if needed
Will require updates in 2 separate places for any changes

Thanks, Marie Nelson!
We'll present this to the stakeholders and see how it goes.
