Default font colour

Yup. A more thought through theme engine for Rise would be welcome!

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!  

I understand your concern, Leslie. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'll be sure our team sees your feedback, and we'll let you know if we make a change to this feature in the future. 

Is there a way to upvote this feature request?

I too would like to see this feature added. It would help save time.

This is needed, especially since you can't save your custom colours in a swatch on the colour picker and therefore have to remember the HEX code of your text colour everytime you need to change it.

I have been yearning for these and just assumed it would come naturally. It is time-consuming to say the least, and frustrating in the sense that it seems so basic but seems to be too out of reach. Surely there are more complex features you have done without too much prodding. I just want to default it to black. That alone will be a big leap and save countless hours.

Please allow us to change the default font settings for size, color, etc., it is very time-consuming to do it manually, where you have to change the font for every caption, piece of text, etc., throughout a training module that contains hundreds of blocks.

Adding my voice to this.  Having to go through and check/change every block of text is very time consuming and draining — and there is always the chance of error. We recently had a minor colour update and I had to go through our modules and update every instance, manually typing in the HEX code. Tables are a source of frustration too, as I have to reset the font size and colour for every new row/column.
RISE is brilliant in so many ways — really hoping you can address this  soon.

Yes, I concur. I would like to be able to set a default font color for the whole project.
