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!
This will be great. More often than not, any computer program will have a white background, so a white button makes it difficult to see. Looking forward to this one coming through :)
Thanks for weighing in on this as well, Michael!
One more for changing the color from white.
Thanks, Blair for popping in to share that you'd like this too. We'll keep you posted here if there are any changes around this.
Adding my +1 for this feature. Being able to change the color to make it stand out against a background would be helpful. Also, having the marker change after it has been selected would be helpful for the Learner to know what has already been selected. Maybe the option to choose the color for "selected" could be added as a feature? In the meantime, we either create a Storyline for the added level of control over the states, or we use numbered markers to make it easier for Learners to follow/keep track.
Thanks, Erin. This is a request we're tracking and we'll let folks know if it's something that makes our feature roadmap for Rise!
I am working on a RISE course and the markers are light until selected. I know the theme changes the color, but I too would love to see if we can change the color of the entire marker to stand out.
Me too! Me too! The ability to customize the marker colors (fill and pulsing ring) would be a nice feature.
I'm using the labeled graphic on a corporate document that is primarily white with our company's blue accent. Naturally, my Rise accent color is set to the same blue, therefore the markers blend right into the document. The option to change the marker to a contrasting color would keep our employees from having to play Where's Waldo to get through the course.
I used this work around. I made a dark border around my graphic and placed the markers within the dark border. I also used lines where necessary on the graphic that would point to the marker.

Thanks, Andrea for sharing that workaround. We'll keep you posted here with any other improvements that are added to the markers!
I agree. If the marker is on a graphic with a white background, it doesn't stand out enough for the learner to see it.
