Articulate Rise - Change Link colour

Hi - is it possible to change text links to a different colour.  Currently it is taking the colour from the theme settings and this colour cannot be changed.

    Actually, Alyssa gave a solution to this in another forum! See below...

    "By default, hyperlinks use the color you've chosen as your theme color in the course settings. However, there's an easy way to choose a different color! The trick is to set the color before adding the hyperlink.

    First, highlight the text and change the color to your desired color and underline the text. Then, highlight the text again and add the hyperlink.

    Now the text will be hyperlinked and underlined in your desired font color!"

      I have been using this workaround for about a year now but it doesn't seem to work today - did anything change? Thanks for your help

  • Hi Ina!

    The hyperlink color in Rise 360 will match the course accent color. We'll let you know if we make changes to this feature!

    I like that I can change the font color, thank you for that tip.  I would also like to have the option to change the color of the underline to any color I select without changing the theme.  Thanks!

  • You're right, Jina. The hyperlink color in Rise 360 will match the course accent color. I can see how that could be problematic when you need to use the standard hyperlink blue color, so I'll share your thoughts with my team. We'll let you know if we make a change to this feature in the future!

    Hello,

    That only changes the color of the Font. The hyperlink line remains whatever color of the theme chosen. For accessibility, I think Rise should allow us to retain the themes (as that gives us designer choices), but set hyperlinks as standard hyperlink blue (#0000FFF); or at least allow us to chose this when adding links. We had a theme that made the links orange. If you contrast-check the orange against a white background, they fail the WCAG AA & AAA. Without this color change feature, we will be limited in the type of themes we can use.

    Hi Krish, if you format your links on the page to how you want the link in terms of colour, size, font weight and then add the hyperlinks to the text it will retain your styling instead of reverting to the default theme colour.
