How to change menu colors
I am using the Modern player and would like to change the "selected" color for the menu entries. The "selected" color is white, but the text of the menu entries is also white, so it disappears when selected.
When I go to Colors & Effects, I have the options of Dark, Light, or Custom, and regardless of what I choose, the menu-entry text color is still white and the selected color is white. How can I change this so the text is visible when selected? Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Janet!
The ability to edit the Moder Player font color isn't a feature at the moment, but it's a request that we're currently tracking. If possible, I want to look at your file to see why the menu text isn't showing up for you; that shouldn't be happening. Could you share the .story file in this discussion or privately here? I'm happy to continue troubleshooting this with you!
Hi, is there any progress making the font colour editable on the Modern Player? I currently have a Storyline for which the player background colour is set to brand colour #4a70aa. This works fine with white (#FFFFFF) as the accent colour, but the menu chapters and player icons default to grey #babbba, which falls short of accessibility requirements (WCAG AA). Thanks.
Hi OliviaMacron​!
Thank you for sharing the feedback!
The Modern Player in Storyline meets WCAG Accessibility Guidelines for visual contrast and color so all learners can read the text, decipher the icons, and navigate easily. However, I do understand having more custom control around the design of Menu elements can improve your authoring experience.
I've included your voice in the feature request that's being tracked! We'll be sure to notify you if this enhancement makes it to our product roadmap.
Have a great start to your week!
