Rise - Changing Button Colours
Hi there,
Is there a way in Rise to change button colours for different lessons? I'm creating a short course on personality styles where each lesson needs to be a different colour. It would be great if I could edit the continue buttons and divides for example to match the colour of the lesson. Any idea if there's a way to do this?

+1 on this issue -- the fact that I can't change the font colour on the Continue buttons is literally ruining my project.

+1 on this issue. ALso having an issue where the Start button changes on the mobile version to have black text, but I can't have black text on the laptop version.....we need more control of what we can do with the buttons!

+1 on this issue. A surprise that this has not been looked into for at least 4 years!

I just logged a request for the above. It would be a great addition to be able to vary the colors for buttons/lessons throughout Rise. Also better for visual learners as each lesson could be given its own 'feel' to assist with engagement and retention.

I would like to be able to change the color of the button to match the branding of the company as well. I would love to hear when that capability is added!

Hi Alyssa, thanks for this! As some of the other posters have mentioned, it would be great to be able to change accent colours across different lessons within the same Rise course, to relate to what the lesson covers. Do let us know if that ever becomes an option, thanks!

Hi Team, Just logging my vote to the above thread. Would be great if I could edit the Continue button to do a couple of things: 1. Change the colour to match the course branding, 2. Change the shape of the Continue button..
If there is an update on when to see some changes - it would be great to hear :-)

Hi Maria,
Most buttons in Rise use the Custom Color.
Which Continue button are you talking about?
- MohammadHadiBhaCommunity Member
The one when you add a divider a s a continue button

We just ran into this issue ourselves. The highlight color is great for making a good dividing line to draw attention, but the color we chose was too bright for our buttons, so we customized the colors of buttons to something more appropriate.
After doing all this, we noticed the "Continue" button cannot be customized, so we have a mismatch of buttons throughout the course materials when we are adding a Continue divider vs. buttons to do other things, such as launching other pages.
It would be nice if the Continue button could default to that theme setting, but also allow overriding the actual button color, the same as you can do for other button types, for consistency's sake.

Hi Fraser!
The Continue button follows the theme colors. Please go to Settings > Theme > Font & Color Customization > Customize theme.
You can select the color from there and save it, and this will update the Continue button color

Thanks Hazel, and I do understand the functionality of the customized theme colors. My point was that many UI elements are forced to follow the theme color, and in our case we don't want to change all those other elements just to align the color of a Continue button with the color of our other (customized) buttons.
I've attached a sample of our issue. We want ALL buttons to be the same color (blue), but there are elements controlled by the theme colors that we don't want to be the same color as the buttons (for example, the line at the top we want to stay red).
We can change interactive buttons and button bars to be custom colors (which is good), but as soon as we add a Continue button, it is forced into being a different color from all our other buttons, simply because it is a Continue button, and must follow the theme colors. Because we are able to custom-set the color of the other buttons, it is that much more jarring to realize we can't change the Continue button's color without resorting to changing the overall theme color, which we don't want to do.
It would be ideal if all buttons we put in our courses could be customized separately from the theme colors. This was the gist of the enhancement I was suggesting.

Hi Fraser! So sorry I misunderstood what you meant earlier. Thank you for the additional information and for helping me understand why this is important for the work that you do. If we make any changes in the future that will help you, we'll update this thread.
Hey, Sophie! Right now, there isn’t a way to do that in Rise 360. But we'd love to hear more about how this would improve your authoring experience. Would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more?
In the meantime, if there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
