Marker animation (pulse/swirl) colour
Hi all
Just wondering, after placing a marker down (e.g. info icon or a question mark) and selecting Swirl, is there a way to change this colour?
I found a thread from years ago that said no (https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-quizmaker/change-hot-spot-pulse-color) however has anyone been able to find a way in Storyline 360? I had a look through Player Settings / Colours & Effects / Show Advanced Colour Editing but alas, no luck, only able to change the marker colour but not the swirl :(

Yes, would be nice if you could adjust the swirl color...pointless on a white background...
Hi Michael,
You can change the type of animation (pulse, swirl or none), but you won't be able to change the color of the pulse or swirl. That would make an excellent feature request!
In the meantime, check out the workarounds mentioned in this thread.

Hi Alyssa has this request been honored in the new releases of Articulate Storyline 360?
I find the swirl much more effective than the pulse. The only challenge is: if it is a white background you can't see it. You need to have a darker background for good contrast.
Thank you.

The slide page is white and the swirl color is white and the pulse color is shade of gray (shadow). Too bad the color of the swirl and pulse are not the same effect contrasting color.
Hi Mark!
This feature hasn't been added to Storyline 360 as we've prioritized other features and fixes. I'm happy to bring this feature back to my team. If it makes it on our roadmap, we'll update you in this discussion!

Hi Lauren, Any progress on adding this feature? To add to this request and partially onto other recommendations concerning Markers, it would be beneficial to have the ability to resize the Markers. A more beneficial feature would be adding a Swirl or Pulse to a Shape in its Format Shape options and the Swirl or Pulse color option within the same Format Shape pop-up. Having this feature would give Users much more control.

I'll add my name to the hat for more options on the marker size, pulse colors - maybe even speed. I like the Rise labeled graphics -- much sleeker than this- seems like that could be a goal.
