Change bullet color in Rise
In Rise, when I change the color of text to white, the bullets remain black. Is there a way to make the bullets the same color as text?
Having the same problem in 2022 - I'm relatively new to using Articulate product (1 year) - curious to know how Articulate prioritise fixes and communicate them? I'm finding many niggly issues that seem to have been around for a long time.
Keen to here of any alternate platforms for rapid e-learning development that others are loving (more than Rise)
Agree 💯 it’s a very expensive product and it has some issues that seem
surprising. One is the bullet color issue. Others are the inability to properly
resize a picture and to use MCQs to pose opinion questions with no correct answer.Rise has created a MASSIVE library of amazing content., which took who knows how much time and money... and yet these niggly issues remain. It's a mystery,
What I have seen in all these years using Articulate products is that communication about product updates is not frequent and often takes the shape of marketing campaigns once a year or so (last one, Rise templates). Working in a software company, I am used to seeing minor updates every two weeks, but this is not definitely the case here. I don't have the feeling that they listen to community requests or if they do it feels extremely slow.
They also maintain a roadmap page with future product updates. Unfortunately, they do not have an ETA and sometimes we get an update that was not listed there (if memory serves), so I don't really trust that public roadmap: https://articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-360-Feature-Roadmap
I hope this answers your question. As for the alternatives, I was recently shown contentCloud by Netex and I thought it looked way more powerful than Rise.
I was so close in getting us ( a rather large company ) on the "easygenerator.com" train, but China put a stop to that. Articulate works in china. At the time Easygenerator was lacking in that performance, but check it out with free trial, and see if it is for you, I have not checked their latest version.
Also i think that "ispringsolutions.com" is a interesting option, if i had the option..
But in another 5 years i expect Articulate Rise to have learned a lot and we will have a "all basics covered system" to work with.
How much patience do you have?
Hello dear Community,
is there a solution concerning this topic?
It is a bit tricky if you wish to use the bullets points in a text and an ordered list at the same time. One time the bullet points remain black forever, in the other case you can change the color. Nothing you can explain to your SMEs...
Thanks for an replay! Bye for now.
Sorry! What? 4 years has passed and nothing has done in this topic? Very sad, cause this is not a very excotic wish... :-(
This is still an issue.
Just a note to say that I've been looking for ways to fix this with issue using purely CSS, and haven't found one that works well enough. I was exploring using the color 'mix-blend-mode' as a means of ensuring high contrast colors on the bullets, but this of course would do nothing to match the bullets to the text (https://codepen.io/rebelchris/pen/dyoaWRa).
Until the Articulate team fixes this (if ever), my personal recommendation would be to make use of the bulleted list block when you are going to use a darker background. This won't match the color of the text, but it will at least use your accent color for the bullets which in theory would be a higher contrast than the dark grey bullets on a darker background. The challenge with this recommendation is that the style of the bulleted list block is very different from the bulleted list style that is applied within a normal text block in Rise.
If there is interest in having these two different styles mimic each other in terms of spacing between bullet and text, just let me know and I can customize that bit of CSS, and share the code here to at least give you one alternative avenue if this issue is actively causing headaches with your content.
And if you're curious to understand how the different bullet types perform out of the box, here you go:
.....and 4 years later =)
We'll survive. But, it will be really helpful if it's ever figured out. Black bullets on dark blue not a good look. ....and of course, I can't change the dark blue.
Yes, please allow us to change bullet/number colors, this looks horrible!
Is this on the roadmap for updating? Looks like it was initially brought up 5+ years ago...
