Color change RISE background? Black?

Some of our courses have a black/dark theme...and they would feel more on theme if the 'customize theme' settings allowed for black-background/white-font setting.  Anyone else agree?

  • Black theme for the Rise courses needs to be added as this a more awaited to support 508 compliance and accessibility to the course to support disable or partial users. Can this feature can be added to create new courses by selecting White/Black theme and accordingly the blocks should reflect to add inside the new courses.  

  • I also fully support the need of a Dark Theme, especially for accessibility. Has anyone figured out a way around it until Articulate considers this as a new feature? Thanks!

  • Is there plan to release a black theme Rise player, so that after we apply all the blocks adapt to it with black background with white text? 

  • Unbelievable that this has not been addressed yet. How difficult can it be to change a default background from white to black? Over 4 years now and still not even the option to individually change "every" block background to black as a stop gap? Seriously Articulate (lack of) Support?!!?

  • It's crucial to have the option to adjust the background colour of courses to any HEX colour. It is about branding and diversifying content. There is proof that e.g. darker background colours can help with eye fatigue and improve overall learning effectiveness. And that's what we are all here for.  Despite improvements in newer versions, with coloured backgrounds for blocks, the persistent white intro page and headers undermine the effectiveness of a black or coloured background. This feature was requested seven years ago, and its development shouldn't be overly time-consuming, as you have it for all other design blocks already.
