HEX color code for Rise process block

Can anyone tell me what the hex code for the background of the process block in Rise is?  I want to insert a description underneath a process block and I can't seem to get it to match.

  • Hi Crystal, I suppose that just means we're asking to be allowed to change the process interaction grey background (rather than the process block background) then, or for the grey to be removed so we can set a block background.

  • hi cystal, i don't want to beat a dead horse. i'm also not sure i really need to understand the reasons the color can't be changed. but now i'm curious. if i'm understanding you correctly, the process block is built differently than the other blocks. specifically, the beige color around the sides is not the background of the block but is part of the block. do i have that right? if so, is there a reason that block is built differently than the others?

      You're right, the process block is built differently than other blocks, and the feature that allows you to change the background color on other blocks doesn't apply to this block. Right now this is not a feature we're planning on building, but we always appreciate you sharing your need for it.

        So Mathew Bibby posted a 'simple' code edit in the output file. Seems like the coders could work some simple love in the UI to close this simple BG fill gap. +1 for a feature request. As I'm beginning to lean into Rise a lot more over SL, definitely opportunity to improve the UX consistency for author, and thus, learner.

  • It's frustrating to hear that the Articulate team aren't ensuring this basic functionality is applied consistently across all blocks.

    +1 for this feature of changing the background color of process blocks. In our courses we distinguish input from exercises using block background color.  It's a pity this isn't possible for process blocks as it is for all other block types. 

  • Thank you Matthew!

    This is a great workaround. Have a virtual bottle of whisky, on me.



    Cheers!

    Works like a charm. You truly are a "hero", Matthew.  Fancy bottle below... 

  • Hey Matthew! I usually use the program Visual Studio Code but it isn't allowing me to open the published Rise file in it to access the code. Is there a specific code editor I should switch to for Rise?

  • Thanks for chiming in Chris! We don't have this feature in our roadmap right now but we'll let you know here if we make any changes that would help!
