New in Rise 360: Theme Contrast Control
Contrast plays a significant role in the learning experience. If your text doesn’t stand out enough from the background, your learners will struggle to absorb your content. And that’s not what you want!
But now thanks to Theme Contrast Control in Rise 360 you can make sure that when text or icons appear on top of the theme color they meet contrast guidelines automatically. This includes things like:
- Course titles
- Lesson headers
- Navigation buttons
- Progress indicators
- Dividers
- Checkboxes, numbers, and bullets in list blocks
- Etc.
To use this new feature, simply go to the Themes tab, select Colors, and choose one of the following options:
- Auto: Turns text and meaningful graphics to black or white automatically depending on your theme color to meet the minimum accessibility contrast requirements at 4.5:1 ratio. We recommend using this option when possible to ensure everyone has a good experience with your course.
- Dark: Turns text and meaningful graphics to black.
- Light: Turns text and meaningful graphics to white.
Once you’ve made your selection, it’s automatically applied to text and icons that appear on top of your theme color throughout your course all at once, saving you a ton of time and ensuring everyone can easily read your content.
