Custom Blocks Questions
re: question 1
It sounds like you inserted an image of dark-blue quotation marks. Like photos and other illustrations, those can't be recolored in Rise.
Here are a couple options:
Option 1: Insert the quotation marks as text. Adjust the size, font, and color as desired.
Option 2. Insert the same graphic in Storyline. Right-click the graphic, and Export/Save it on your computer. Change the color with image-editing software. Then insert that image.
For example, this file started as a dark-blue quotation mark. I used the Fill option in SnagIt to change it to purple.
re: question 2
You can save any block or set of blocks as a Block Template. That template can then be inserted in any Rise course. Here's more info: Rise 360: Creating, Sharing, and Reusing Block Templates
Related to this, I notice that in the block template examples, some of the images are in-line like text rather than inserted as images. Where do these come from? How is this done? I know I can just delete them and replace the text box with an image but I like some of these icons and would just like to recolor them, for example, or make use of this icon library if it exists somewhere. Thanks.
Hey MargaretRich035, these icons are emoji. If you're on macOS you can follow these guidelines to insert them or these guidelines if you're on Windows. You can also do a web search to track down a specific emoji and then copy-paste it into the text field. Let us know if you have further questions!
