How do I change the hover color for the Sequence Drag and Drop in Storyline? The color that is showing up (default I am assuming) is not in my theme colors so I don't know where to change it. Am I looking in the wrong place and it's not changed in the Custom Theme Colors?
I read this quickly and didn't think about it as the sequence...there wouldn't be a way to simulate the way to change it when the items are rearranged. Sorry - but hopefully someone in the community is able to share additional information or ideas on ways you could accomplish this.
So, I'm mentioning this issue again after 5 years since the first post.
My issue is with the built-in drag and reorder (Sequence) and I'm stuck with a teal light blue color.
I found other threads and I'm giving up, but I posted the issue in other threads too, since people subscribed to each thread can let us know if they have found tricks or if anyone knows if this can be fixed by articulate.
When I think of a work around, I realize that this color is not magically appearing (it seems like it), so in the published files, there has to be a variable or place where this color is being set on roll-over. If this is true, then wouldn't be easy for Articulate to connect that to the "control 1" of the theme colors?
It's been 5 years since this was first posted, so maybe my thought that was realized when trying to make a work around will help Articulate't team realize this may be a super super easy fix, considering there are many posts and responses to posts, and all of the people that don't bother writing a response or making a new post.
Custom 2 is the default color for check box styles 3 and 4 as well as radio button styles 3 and 4. It’s also the hover color for drag items, drop-down questions, and Likert scale questions.
I'm attaching the Storyline file that has the Drag and Drop Sequence QUIZ - Plus I tried the Drop-down Quiz, that you mentioned should work in Storyline 360, and that too did not work.
SL2 previews in flash - SL360 previews in HTML5. It is always recommended to publish your module to the intended environment your users will see and test from there. All the best.
...has this ever been resolved or answered (I can not find) - I am in Articulate 360 and still same is as previous versions - I do not want Cyan as background color for drop-downs in questions (it is messing with my course feng shui) - changing control 1 and 2 do nothing, I see no color option in the player to edit this and nothing on the master to change- I am using the default clean question layout.... and the content library has nothing for drop-downs so can't try that either - helpppppp - thanks!
Hi - any news on this issue? I too use SL 360. For some questions the hover over/background color is what I define (MC), and for some it won't change...(Ordering, Matching).
This looks like an issue that has not been. Can I change the color of the hover state from blue to a different color in a sequence drag and drop question?
We're seeing a problem with the Custom 2 hover color in a Sequence Drag and Drop interaction when you're viewing the HTML5 output. The Flash output works normally, though.
Now that you're subscribed to this thread, you'll be notified immediately when we share new information about this bug. Thanks for letting us know you ran into this, and I'm sorry it's causing you headaches!
I have some great news!We just released another update for Storyline 360, and included a few important fixes and new features that you'll see in the release notes here.
This update fixes the issue where the hover color for drag items and drop-down questions was always blue in HTML5 output, even if you customized it in your theme colors.
Just launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button for each application. Details here.
It's a real shame there isn't a feature for this yet in SL3 considering it has been brought up for years. It cannot be to difficult to add a color attribute to the matching bars or to offer alternative shapes or at least make the default shapes more contrasting.
Hey folks! I'm sorry you're still dealing with this issue in Storyline 3. The good news is, the fix for this bug will be released in the next update. We'll notify you as soon as the fix goes live!
As Alyssa promised above ☺️ I'm really excited to let you know that we just released update 3 for Storyline 3! You can view all the new features and fixes here.
One of the fixes addresses an issue where customized hover color for drag items and drop-down questions would not show in the published HTML5 output.
Here’s where you can download and install the latest version of Storyline 3. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hi Kyle
I haven't tested it but for SL360 the theme colour to change is Custom 2 not Control 1
https://community.articulate.com/series/74/articles/articulate-storyline-360-user-guide-how-to-use-theme-colors
I changed all of the colors a 10th time thinking I did something wrong, and I did a test from a brand new test only storyline file.
Here is a PEEK example -- https://360.articulate.com/review/content/e6b6c9bf-1187-4a07-84c0-15b20be001db/review

I'm finding the same behaviour in the html5 output of a SL360 file but the flash version is working
That is very interesting.
I'm seeing the issue with the Preview before Publishing - Plus we use Flash
with HTML 5 fallback.
Thanks for this information, Maybe my preview is rendering HTML - I have
no idea.
THanks!

Hello Kyle and thank you for sharing your file so that I could take a look.
It looks like this has been filed as a bug with the workaround being to utilize a freeform question type in the meantime.
I will add this thread to the report for both user awareness and for update when applicable.
Thanks,
Do you know how to make a drag-drop to sequence answers? Do you know if there is a thread about how to do this.?
A freeform sequence drag and drop? I'm not sure that I have seen that. Hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in and assist here.

Hello Cynthia,
Sorry to hear that you've run into this issue within Storyline 360.
We do have an issue reported with the hover colors in the HTML5 output at this time (which is also what you see during preview).
I will add this thread and update the report to reflect user impact.
Hi - any news on this issue?
I too use SL 360. For some questions the hover over/background color is what I define (MC), and for some it won't change...(Ordering, Matching).

Thanks for checking in, Yael. We're still working through this bug, and you're in the right place to be notified as soon as we share an update!
This is driving me crazy...you can add me to the list of users who are begging for this problem to be fixed!
Hello Heather and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with this as well. I have updated the report to reflect the users affected and prioritized as well.
I also wanted to share some information on how we define bugs and how we tackle them when they occur.
This looks like an issue that has not been. Can I change the color of the hover state from blue to a different color in a sequence drag and drop question?

I agree. I see how it has been a low priority, but this is part of the base
unique features of the product from the start.
Clients always think it's broken and ask for it to be fixed in the
reviews. The answer is that I can not do that. Not a good impression.
