Question Bank feedback font color - tired all suggestions
Dec 06, 2013
Help, I'm very frustrated. I am using four question banks (total of 100 questions). All questions are fill in the blank. The background in my feedback slide is white and is the color throughout my course so I hate to change it..
When Reviw Quiz is selected, the correct responses do not display on the white background because they are also white. Is there any way to change the correct response font color to black? I;ve viewed and tried suggestions from the following post buts can't seem to find a fix or it doesn't relate to using a question bank.

I would hate to have to recreate all 100 questions in order to be able to change the font color. Anuone have any suggestions? Thanks so much.

Hi Denise,
There is a "Review Feedback" master that is generated within the Feedback master, but to have those changes applied, you'd also need to have the "Post Quiz review" layer enabled for each question slide. It may be easier to change the background color to something other than white.
I'm usingquestion banks. Does the review question slide and post review quiz layer still apply?
Unfortunately, changing the background color isn't an option at this point - I am using the flipcard template and added quiz option. I can't seem to locate the Review Feedback Master. Can you explain how to locate and how to enable the post quiz reeview layer? Thanks again.
Hi Denise,
The steps outlined here will help you customize the quiz review, and you can set this up in a question bank as well. You won't be able to change the text color here (as it lives on the base layer) but you will be able to create new text, boxes, images, etc. that sit over the top of those items and could make it look just as if they're seeing it in a different color. You'll have to customize it for each slide if you'd still like to share the particular answers for that slide.
Thanks for the very quick response, Ashley. I will try your suggestion!
Happy to help Denise, and enjoy your weekend!
Ashley,
This is my first course in SL. I've reviewed your video and several other posts with the same issue, but can't figure out how to change the Review Quiz feedback text color. It's white and so is my background. I'm out of options and have a deadline. Can I send my quiz to someone for assistance? Thanks once again.
PS - I've tried the box over-lay but I must not be doing it correctly or understand the correct steps as I'm getting the same result.
Hi Denise,
Are you able to share your .story file with us here so that the community can take a look and offer some additional suggestions? If you're unable to share the .story file here in the forums, you could also send it along privately here.
Ashley,
I am attaching a screen shot of a work around, but it's not an ideal solution. I increased the color gradient of the master file so the text would display. I am sending the file privately hoping you can offer a cleaner solution. It's hard to believe with a product this robust that the feedback text color cannot be changed. Any suggestion you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for all of your help thus far.
Hi Denise,
I just replied to your case, and wanted to share the information here as well.
Edit the Fill in the Blank Review Text
Edit the Feedback Master
Disable "Show correct/incorrect feedback" on the Results slide.
What this will allow you to do is customize the answer text and design to fit within your desired set up. The existing colors are dependent on the Design choice you have chosen (which shows white text) and any additional theme colors you've set up.
For more information on how to modify the theme colors please review this tutorial: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/working-with-theme-colors.aspx

Ashley,
Thanks so much! You have been unwavering in your support and I am thankful that you stuck with me until I found a suitable resolution. I chose your suggestion below which gives me exactly what I wanted. They still find out which questions they missed and the correct response is provided during the quiz review.
My other suggestion involves customizing the feedback layer, which I've included another video showing how I set it up (this is quick, but you could change around the location of the checkmark and answer on the feedback master or individual review slides. You will need to include the answer on the Review layer for each question though, and disable the "Show correct/incorrect answer on quiz review" from your Results slide.
Thanks Denise for updating the thread as well with what path you ending up choosing to customize your quiz slide, and I'm glad I was able to assist you.
I agree about posting a resolution when found! I have another issue and there are so many posts about it (resetting quiz) so it's a common issue, but no one has a resolution posted. Arg!
Hi Denise,
Can you tell me more about the quiz reset issue you're having? Or if you're reading/replying in a particular thread point me in that direction?
Hi Ashley - with your suggestion to Disable "Show correct/incorrect feedback" on the Results slide, this means that the other questions (multiple choice, etc) won't appear with the green check marks next to them.
Can you disable Disable "Show correct/incorrect feedback" only for the fill-in-the-blank slides?
Hi Victoria,
You cannot disable it for individual questions - it has to be disable for the entire set of questions associated with the results slide. You could look at creating your own custom results feedback to have it listed as you'd prefer to see if that helps with the set up.
Hi Ashley,
Thank you for your reply. I followed the video, establishing a custom layer, adding variables and 2 triggers to each slide. That seems a bit overkill when all I want to do is change the font colour on the feedback slide!
I'm glad you were able to get it working Victoria, and based on the current set up of the feedback masters it's not able to be changed or disabled for individual questions, but it's also worth sharing your thoughts on this in the form of a feature request if you'd like.
ha ha! No, I DID NOT get it working. I couldn't change the font colour!
I just gave up and fudged the background so it was darker where the white text showed up.
I'm sure there are already thousands of feature requests for this, but will add mine.
Hi Victoria,
Ah, thanks for clarifying Victoria. Sorry you weren't able to find a way to change the font color and I know it was something we were discussing the other day among our team as well as that font color isn't documented anywhere but it seems to be based on the theme colors. Our team is taking a further look so once I have additional information I'll share it here.
HI Victoria,
I heard back from our team and they confirmed that the way it should work is that it should use the “Text/Background - Dark 1” color for the text if it’s a light theme, and “Text/Background - Light 1” for the text if it’s a dark theme. So the color is dependent on your overall theme color.
Hope that helps clarify.
