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?

This is really no longer about the ability to change the colour of bullet points in Rise; it is more about the constant lack of value I feel that Articulate provides for its (increasing) subscription.
The Feature Request function is clearly the de-facto way to deflect users and to give them the impression that some things might change. We have seen that is not the case.
I do not send feature requests any more as I have no faith that Articulate will ever execute any suggestions made. This has been my experience of this software for the last almost 10 years. I am afraid that I believe Articulate has rested far too long on its laurels; does not listen to its customers, nor does it innovate and add any value. On top of this is a core application (Storyline) that crashes very regularly and for which there is no real remediation, or protection.I think, like a growing number of Articulate customers, that Storyline, and Rise need urgent attention to gain back the confidence of its customers.
I did discuss this with Simon Tagihoff in your organisation in March this year and he promised that the customer experience was being addressed, as well as the general roadmap of the products. I see nothing fundamentally changing and I see prices rising.
Articulate has opted for a subscription-based financial model, which does everything for Articulate but does absolutely nothing for me as a customer.
It is a shame because the product is fundamentally good. It relies almost entirely on the community to help us work round the limitations that Articulate fails to recognise or act upon.
Please feel free to share this email with your senior management team. I would be happy to discuss this with them.

I'm afraid that I agree......

Come on guys. It's pretty shameful that such a basic formatting feature still hasn't been implemented 5 years in.

I found a small workaround, well it works fine if you have no high expectations and possibly do not write the paragraph in more than 1 line
use ASCII to get a symbol like ■ (ALT+254) and then just change the color of that

Another vote here too. This is a long-standing and popular request. It would be great to have this functionality please

5 years on and customers are still asking for this - surely it can't be that hard? It would make my life so much easier. *sigh*

Donna, the important thing to note about Christopher's solution, above, is that it will make ALL of your bullets white that appear within a text block anywhere in your course. So be careful if you are using bullets in text blocks with a white background somewhere else in the course, as those will appear hidden or broken to the user.
The 'workaround' would be to use Christopher's approach, but to be careful to always use bullet blocks on light backgrounds, and to only use text blocks with bulleted lists on darker backgrounds.

I'm still having success with this method:

It's a lot more work, and consider using version control software to track your changes revision-to-revision, but it allows you to target individual unordered lists for different color backgrounds.

Just saw this is 5 years old - surely formatting bullet points isn't that hard even in Rise. Is there any news on when we'll be able to change the colours? I've got white text on a dark background and the black dotpoints just aren't showing up at all.
Articulate updates please?

forgot to provide the code from the recording- you'll need to add this inline style inside the ul or ol tag
style="color:white"
so the final tag would look like
<ul style="color:white">

Yes,
Hi JC,
The formatting of bullets and numbers in a text block of Rise won't use the custom colors you've enabled. I can see how it may help with your course design, so I've shared the forum here with our team to take a look at. From here they’ll determine next steps or where this may fit into our roadmap, but it may be some time until I'd have an update.
We have a lot of new features in development right now, and a bunch more on the roadmap. Stay tuned here in the E-Learning Heroes community or keep an eye on our “What’s New” page!
