Changing the colour of a true/false selected answer

Jan 02, 2014

I've used the True/False functionality but tailored the look and feel to match my presentation. When the True or False is selected the colour is very pale and can't be seen very easily. Please can you show me how I can change this colour so that I can change it to something more prominent.

Attached is the look of my slide in case that helps.

Thanks

Kate

Hi Kate and welcome to Heroes!

I'm not sure which color you're looking to change, but wanted to point you to this tutorial on how to update the theme colors. You can modify the theme colors, and when doing sosSome things you should know:

  • The Text/Background items are designed to help make text easily readable when applied to shapes. For example, text that you format with the darker shades is designed to be readable when placed within lighter-colored shapes.
  • The series of Accent colors are the preset color choices you'll see on the Format tab when you choose an object's fill color or outline color.
  • Accent 1 is the default fill color for shapes, captions, the checkmark on checkbox buttons styles 1 & 2, and the dot on radio button styles 1 & 2.  (Learn more about buttons here.)
  • Hyperlink is the color used for text to which you apply hyperlinks.
  • Control 1 is the hover color for buttons, and the hover color on answer choices for quiz questions.
  • Custom 1 is the default fill color for buttons.
  • Custom 2 is the default color for the checkmark on checkbox buttons styles 3 & 4, and the dot on radio button styles 3 & 4

Hi Kate,

Thanks for the additional image of what you're trying to change. Since you've customized the T/F question set up a bit further, it's hard to know exactly what color is associated with this selection, but you may also want to look at how the states are set up for this circle and see if you're able to change it there. If you were using the built in T/F question set up, changing Accent 1 should change the color of the button once selected. 

There is a tutorial here on how to customize states.
