Changing the background color in Rise
Hello, our customer would like us to change the color of the background from white to a different color. How can we do that in Rise? Thank you.
Good news, everyone! You can now customize your blocks with distinctive color and image backgrounds using enhanced block settings! Check out the new feature, and let us know what you think!

Another vote for global background color change.

I am spending my morning changing all the blocks to be a friendlier colour for colleagues with dyslexia. In an age of making things accessible, is there not one button I can click to add a default background colour that is not white?

Come on, Articulate. This is such a simple feature.
I use Rise a ton for my work, and it's really frustrating that whenever I try to look up a common, low tech feature like this, I invariably find threads like this where people have been asking for that same feature for YEARS and it's still not a thing. Please speed up your product updates. It's painful. - RobDixCommunity Member
I would also love for this to be a global option, also is there a way to apply this to the headings and the frontpage, for consistancy

If Articulate just would change the CSS for the background of blocks to a CSSvar then that variable could be easily changed globally. Either in settings or just locally in the CSS after publishing.
PS: It apparently is already a CSSvar: --color-background: #e1adad;
Figuring out where that variable is set and if it is global. - PietervanGroeneCommunity Member
We have been waiting for this for a long time.
Please provide a global option to change the white background to a custom background color for lessons etc.Hi Rob!
Thanks for the feedback!
I've included you in the feature report and will update this discussion as soon as we have news to share. If you'd like to stay up to date, please bookmark our Feature Roadmap.

Thanks for listening Steven.
Let's hope this will be implemented anytime soon.

Rob, I did this for a microlearning theme, note I have not tested on a regular course, but you can download and look at the code. This would be a major change in Rise, and goes against the nature of the block color settings, so I don't think this feature will ever be an option natively in the product.

Thanks Phil, I'll have a look at the Theme to see if there's something that I can use to change the background of our courses.
