4 years since this was first requested and still no change why is this not a main component of the 'customise the theme section' where currently there is not a lot to customise apart from adding one colour and the typeface....
I have noticed this with lots of different requests going back years for what should be basic features. I am beginning to wonder if any of these requests are are actually taken on board and being worked on by the developers or if replies from staff are just lip service because nobody is actually working on the development of these requests.
As well as this being very annoying for me here are a couple more
- the grey background on the process block that cannot be removed - if users cannot change the background colour then leave it white
- the spacing between lines of text in paragraphs etc (not that I use 12pt in RISE but look at the space between the lines, you could fit 2 more lines of text in the space) why is it so big? If the height of the type is 12pt then the leading is usually 2pt or maybe 4pt bigger ie 14pt or 16pt.
This may seem like a rant and maybe it is, I'n not angry just frustrated when I see that years have gone by with no resolution to so many of the requests put forward. I have looked for solutions to many features and see numberous requests that go back years and none of them have ever been developed. The name that will appear in this comment is not mine but I am the one that uses RISE to create courses for a wide variety of clients who have more that one colour in their branding and none of them have dreary grey.
Please Please Please can you deal with the requests that you have received from YOUR PAYING CLIENTS and work on the development of them - we all know that it does not take years to do this if someone is acutally working on them.

Hello Terry, I agree with all your points, but if it helps someone did post a workround to change the background of the process block. I haven't tried it yet, but in case it helps: helps: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise-360/hex-color-code-for-rise-process-block

I agree Terry. I've started looking at other similar providers because of the gaps in Rise 360. It will be a massive task to move our instructional designers to a new tool, but if it has better features and more collaboration with the Devs, it'll be better for everyone.

Hi Josh. Thanks for the reply. My name is Moira and Terry is my boss. After letting him know he may get a message regarding my request, we discussed the fact that this is a product that is used by a vast number of people who's requests seem to fall by the wayside. Yes the only answer may be to change provider or hopefully another provider will see the potential and develop a more user friendly product where their clients input is taken on board. We are in the process of developing a new LMS system which allows you to build your courses into it directly. There's a long way to go to work on the functionality of the course builder as there are so many other features to the system to work on but maybe this is how we will go eventually...

Chiming in to add multi-color brand themes as a feature request. It is a huge time waster to have to constantly enter HEX codes to use more than one custom color.

Any update on this modifying all the custom colours to create our own brand accents? I see this has been queued for the developers for over a year now.
- LeslieKelleyCommunity Member
Would love to see the ability to add custom colors. So difficult to change them each time.
- TiffanyEdgar-65Community Member
I agree! It would be a great time saving and frustration reducing event if we could set the brand colors to our profile so that any course built would have the brand colors we have chosen vs changing it for every course every time!

The first request to be able to change ALL of the 'accent colours' was 4 years ago. I'm finding the same problem today: not being able to update the accent colours to corporate colours. Surely, this can't be too difficult!
- MatKothajCommunity Member
Yeah, well, seems like Articulate does not give much of a stuff about this. The colors have always been an issue here. Even in Storyline it is quite cumbersome to use your own colors. Maybe Articulate wants us to make all courses black and white?! :O
- TinaWillsonCommunity Member
It takes so much time to update colors when you must use 4-6 colors from a specific brand :(. Please add this to the roadmap.
- KaitlynDanielsCommunity Member
Adding myself to this thread as this is something that would be extremely impactful - please add this to the roadmap of updates!

Has this changed? Not being able to use brand colors will severely limit my use of rise.
- SamBurrough-703Community Member
The smart thing to do here is realise that Articulate doesn't really care about what its users think. I would highly recommend using Evolve by Intellum instead. Rise is a weak imitation of Evolve and unlike Articulate, Evolve gets genuinely exciting updates on a regular basis. I would only use Rise if a client forced me too.

Thanks for the tip. I realized quite some time ago that Articulate is only
interested in the profit without improving their products. I'd never heard
of Evolve. I'll be trying them out.
