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 certainly understand Karlee. I think it's a great idea and I've submitted a feature request on your behalf for this feature.
Thank you! I'd like this feature as well!
I would really like this as well. A full colored in circle would be much more identifiable. Also, is there a way to change which side the text box pops up on? For example, I am labeling a screen shot of a document to explain what information would go in each dialog box. When they click the marker, the dialog box covers the area of the form. I'd like it to pop up on the opposite side so they can read the tip AND see the section of the document.
Guys... I've been watching the forums for a while regarding Rise... and this is one of the most requested features over the past couple years. Articulate even stated (mentioned in a previous comment) that this feature isn't even something on their roadmap... something I'd like to see.
I'm not hopeful any of this will be implemented... at least not for another couple years, which is unfortunate as this is a needed feature. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How many more requests do they need to "track" to warrant the change?
Thanks for your note, Sarah. Our team is working on a feature that will allow you to use a custom marker color in a labeled graphic, and we plan to release that enhancement soon.
We're also continuing our work to make Rise 360 fully WCAG 2.1 compliant, and that involves improving options for color contrast in all block types. While I don't have specifics on what that will look like for the label color, I'll be sure to share your feedback with the accessibility team. You can stay up to date on all the accessibility enhancements we've added to Rise 360 right here!
Hi Leslie,
Thank you for the quick response! This does help, but unfortunately I was hoping that you could change the fill color of the outside circle before the user clicks or hovers over it.
If that's something that can be done, that would be great.

Hello, I'm just adding my voice for a more visible on a white background set of markers.
I also support that we have the ability to format the markers independently from the course theme configured colour. I would also love to see a 'visited' state for the marker.
cheers Gerry
Hi: I think everyone would be happy with a solid fill colour so learners can see the marker - I am not worried about customizing. Changing to a solid colour should without a doubt be on the roadmap - should have already been addressed as it has been an issue since Rise was launched.
Hi Karlee! Great question and surprisingly one I had not seen asked before. You can certainly change the marker style, and the theme color (via Settings) will drive the marker icon as well as the selected color of the marker as you can see here.
The outside circle and shadow will keep those noticeable by your learner as well:
I hope that helps :)
Hi Erik,
What color have you set your theme colors to? As Adam mentioned they're black/white while authoring but once you preview, use the Share link or export you will see the markers take on your theme color.
