How to change the Modern Player colours other that "Dark" & "Light" theme in Articulate Storyline 360
Hello,
How can we change the color of the Morden Player in Articulte Storyline 360?
If we select the Modern player, it shows only two options:
- Dark
- Light
Can anyone help me to find a way to use the different colors for Modern Player?
Thanks,

Hi Ashley,
I also like the general design of the Modern Player, but shouldn't the default dark and light colour schemes comply with accessibility guidelines (e.g. WCAG 2.0 AA contrast ratio of > 4.5:1) since these colours cannot be edited?
Some examples: the visited menu links on the Dark scheme do not comply, and neither do the Light scheme menu, title, and resources links.
I appreciate that I can use the Classic Player and edit all the colours, but just wanted to know the rationale behind releasing the Modern Player if it is not accessible?
Regards,
Peter

Hi -
I couldn't agree more - just a slight change to make this compliant would have been great. I can't get my head around why it was not designed this way.

Not being able to set corporate approved colors in the Modern player, makes the Modern player, functionally, a little less modern. Agree with the Section 508 compliance comments with respect to contrasting color requirements. Come to think of it, since 26% of the demographic are color blind, in some degree or another, makes this a significant problem.
Hi Amey,
We started with those two options and the addition of the accent color, but we'll let you know if we add more color themes in the future. I'd love to know more about what you'd like to see.

I would like to see at least some other choices for dark and light themes for the modern player. At a minimum at least a few solid colors, perhaps based on your already chosen design theme, like the accent color comes from.

For those who have multiple clients, the lack of color customization may force them to use the Classic player or pursue other options. The last thing a client wants to see, in their training, is a player color scheme looking like their competitor's training. We really need color customization for the Modern player.

The ability the change the colors for the Modern player is becoming more and more necessary feature as the Classic player although very configurable in this way looks quite dated and we need more colors to match the customers branding.

This discussion has been going on for over three years. Are we ever going to see any movement on this?
Hi Amey,
You can change the colors for the modern player, using the Light or Dark options, and one accent color. Here's how.
If you need more control over colors for each player feature, you have two options for that. You can switch to the classic player and use the advanced color options as described here
Or, you can turn off the player altogether and create your own custom navigation with buttons, hotspots, and hyperlinks. Here's how to turn off the player in Storyline 360.Hope that helps!

Hi Ashley,
Thank you for your response.
I know we can change the player color using classic player, but is there any other option to change the colors for modern player other than Light & Dark?
Thanks,

Hi Ashley,
Thank you for introducing the Modern player. It is really cool stuff for HTML5. I have raised the feature request for the modern player more color.
Thanks for your quick support!

Hi Peter,
I'll pass that along to my team! I know that they're looking at adding additional support for accessibility features, and so that'll be a good reminder. I know a few other folks have access for various color changes, so it's definitely a feature we're keeping an eye on.
