Can I change the text color in Modern player in Storyline 360?
Hello,
I would like to change the text color to white or a brighter color in the modern player. I like the look and feel, but the text is gray and hard to see on the dark background. I could use the light, but I prefer the dark theme for this module.
I can update the font and size, but I don't see any options to update the color.
I am having the same issue with not being able to change the text color and it seems crazy that over the course of however many years, this has still not been addressed. If I wanted the player color to be gray, I have no way to changing the text color and is nowhere near accessible. It seems like it would be such an easy fix. Is this anywhere in an update roadmap?
I've been using Storyline since the Beta stages even before SL1. Why in the world would Articulate remove our ability to change the color of the text on the Player? When will this be coming back?
Hi, Allison. Thanks for adding your vote!
No update on this feature yet, but we promise to keep this conversation updated if we make changes in this area.
Here's how we manage feature requests, and you can also stay in the know on all the new things we're adding to Storyline via our What's New page!
We definitely have this need as well. The modern player colors do not meet accessibility requirements for color contrast so we cannot use it so we have to sacrifice responsiveness.
Hi Lauren,
With the release of Update 50, the modern player now meets WCAG accessibility guidelines for visual contrast and color so all learners can read the text, decipher the icons, perceive the controls, and navigate easily. Learn more about modern player accessible contrast.
Please note, we are currently on Build 3.53.25436.0.
The ability to customize the player colors is a feature that is still open with our team, but this conversation is attached so that we can share updates with you here.
Hi Julia and Lauren!
Thanks for chiming in! I'll add your requests to the report.
Thank you, Lauren! I appreciate your help.
You can, in fact, customize the Modern Player with a javascript widget: https://cluelabs.com/storyline-360-modern-player-elearning-widget.html
Our team needs this feature as well. So here's another vote for it.
We would like to use those features as well here. I would like to change the next / previous button text to a different color.
And NO JAVASCRIPT!!!!
