Can you change the color of Markers in Rise?
I selected Labeled Graphic an have inserted an image that has a lot of white in it. The markers are white. Can you change the color of a Marker? If so, how? I feel that if you could, it would be simple.
Thanks!

Hi everyone! In today's update for Rise 360, we added the ability to select your marker color! 🎉 I'm really excited about this one. Just go to the labeled graphic settings, and you'll see a field for marker color.
You can also check out the release notes here. Have a great day!

I have posted about this a few times. I just created another module last week that required required a few labelled graphics, and as is every single time, it is a form (black type on a white background). This time I needed to provide directions as to where to start clicking as it was hard to see - it is getting somewhat/very irritating, given the need/requests for the markers to change and be darker - you don't need it to be darker after clicking on it, it needs to be darker from the start for the learner to see where to click!

There are options. If you know CSS, you can go in the CSS file after output and find the appropriate selector and change the background color. it is a bit of a pain but can be done. What would be really nice (if they can't give us a UI to do it, is if they gave us a CSS over-ride like you can get in Wordpress themes and then we can share ways to customize the pages ourselves.

I agree. It's def an accessibility issue, and has been on the "waiting list" for years! Fix it already! Your customers are becoming angry.

Chiming in again to make sure that Articulate understands this is an accessibility issue, not just something fun and fancy. It needs to be elevated to a higher priority for a fix.

Hi: I just can't understand why this is not #1 on the priority list. I am not a programmer, but it seems like it would be easier to fix/change than to start creating/building anything else on any Articulate platform. This is not a nice to have, it is a need to have!

Dear Articulate,
As several people in four pages ranging back three years, I agree with Brenda this is not a nice have, but a need to have. Many times with trying to jazz up compliance documents I have turned as urged to using Rise. However, when all markers need to be touched, it difficult for learner to identify if they viewed the content. This results, in angry and frustrated learners venting to us as developers. Making us developers, choosing to not use the labeled graphic, or turning back to Storyline. Please move this onto your development or let us know if we need to start a petition at Devlearn or something :) In meantime, I will develop label graphics in Storyline and import through the blocks.

Hi, I am adding my 2 cents to this to say I would like to have some control over the label colors to make them stand out better. Has there been any movement on making this possible?

Awesome! an early Christmas present! thank you :)
Hi Rachell,
Marker captions open to the left or right by default, based on their location on the image and the device you're using to view the course. For example, the captions will cover the screen when you're viewing the course on a mobile phone.
It sounds like you'd like to have more flexibility on the caption placement. That's a really good idea--I'll share that one with the team, too!

I have tried changing the theme color to change my markers but they remain as black and white. I tried deleting the marker and adding it back in after I changed the color, but still remains as black and white. Is there some other setting I'm missing?
Michele - they are black and white while authoring but once you run the course they will take on your accent color. Hit Preview and you'll see what I mean.

I have a dark blue as my theme color. Here is a picture of the markers:
It would be great if the pulsing ring could take on a theme color.
