Hi all I know how to change the default colour in the settings, but can you set a default colour for the font? It seems to be set to grey, and I need to go and change each text block to black.

Hello Articulate Rise - From reading this chain of posts, it appears that fonts are still defaulted to grey. What this means is that I'll have to go through the entire course I'm working on, block by block, to switch the font to black. With accessibility at the forefront of our work, the default should be black (if defaulting is required) and then custom changes would be for those who want to switch to grey. Please work on this issue.

It appears that the global font color has been an issue for several years with Rise. Is there any plan to make it easy to set the color for the entire course to one color?

Dear Articulate 360, Can you please give us an explanation as to why this is taking up to 3 years (and probably more) to sort out this issue? I respect that you wish to leave the default as #313537, but would it be possible to give your customers the option to use any default font colour they want? I understand that you have other processes that are taking priority - but this seems to also be a priority to your customers. Thanks and wish this gets sorted out soon.

It would be nice to be able to change the default font in all areas of Rise. Particularly because research shows that black font is more accessible for those with visual impairments, or vision-related disabilities; and it's my own aim, as well as that of my firm's, to make our content as accessible as possible. I understand why the trend toward gray happened, but there must be other ways to enhance the UX for all learners...and developers? Like adjusting font size, or tighter, more concise writing... And frankly, my own eyes are not that great, so after working in Rise for several hours, I am feeling the eye strain myself!

Hi! I have the same issue. We have a need of branding all our trainings according to our corporate brand. And that includes the font color. The trainings can sometimes be quite long so it`s annoying and it takes us a lot of unnecessary time to do this manually for each text segment. That also goes for background colors to each segment. It would be great to be able to change the default also for that, even though maybe not the game changer the option of changing the default font color would be. I mean, the USP with Rise is that it is easy to use, but this makes it less easy, so it´s actually quite counter productive not to have that option.

Adding my voice to this—again!

This restriction is not just timewasting and annoying, it's an important accessibility issue. The default grey font is not easy to read so we have to manually change everything to black.

I love RISE, but really need your help with this one.

Yup. I find changing the default gray to black for every block irritating and a waste of time as well. This doesn't seem like a big ask. You can already change the accent color on everything.

Agree completely--it would be great if the default fonts was an accessible one.

Adding my voice to the request too! It would be a nice feature to have. My work around is to always create new modules by copying a previous ones, replacing content and moving blocks around and avoiding the creation of new blocks whenever possible. This also helps keep my style consistent through a course. But I inevitably forget on a new block and then have to go back and check to see which ones look grey! It would save time if we could have this colour option. Pete

Any new update on the overall font color change for all templates (similar to choosing the accent color)? I really like the update you all did with the themes :)
