Setting Global Font Color in RISE
I apologize if I missed any existing posts on this topic.
I am wondering if there is a way to set font color globally in RISE for paragraph text. It seems to default to a grey color, which isn't enough contrast for us.
To avoid the laborious task of having to manually change that for each text block, is there a way to designate this to apply globally?
I only see the option in Theme settings to set the contrast color and font. Not seeing anywhere you can designate the color for paragraph text.
Indeed. IMO, the default font color really needs to be black. The dark gray - it seems barely compliant for readability/accessibility standards.
Ran into this issue today. This seems like a very basic functionality, and it's odd that there's not a way to set a default global text color. Yes, the workaround above works, but for something as simple as global text color, there shouldn't have to have one. And having to make Block Templates for every unique block I make is annoying.
+1 Articulate... as I'm leaning into Rise more, I'm wasting the expected rapid production benefits over SL with silly constant font color edits or duplicating blocks first, then pasting new text. It's clumsy and an easy feature request.
I am having to edit all of our courses due to rebranding and it sure is tedious to have to go line by line or paragraph by paragraph to edit text color.
So if the default color is grey, and that seems to be an issue with a lot of folks (myself included - I mean, who actually *wants* grey font?), why not just change the default to black? This is a HUGE pain in the a**, as having to change the color on every bit of text - headings, paragraphs, processes, tabs, etc., is a massive waste of time. Please, for the love of Rudy and all that is holy, PLEASE update this.
As recommended by Tom Kuhlmann a long time ago, we created a Block Template for every block type that we regularly use.
Every Block Template was formatted for style (bold, italic, color, size, etc.) before saving.
Now when we build our courses, 95% of the time we create the course entirely from the Block Template library.
So we don't have to change the color or any other formatting options every time we add a new block.
We share the Block Templates with our entire team and it ensures formatting consistency no matter which team member creates the course.
It is truly ridiculous. Higher colour contrast is basic accessibility!
I agree. That solution doesn't really work. We've been doing that on a large project and often when you paste over the text it comes out in a different colour. It creates lots of extra hours checking and changing. You would really expect this to be addressed ages ago. It's even more difficult for us as the font colour is slightly different from the default black. Very frustrating. Please can we raise another change request for this. Thanks.
Most repetitive thing I do, change grey to black, a pain.
+1 vote from me.
I love a nice clean aesthetic (and love the Rise templates for that reason), but I feel ridiculous making a course on accessibility while the course itself is barely accessible.
I completely agree! The default font color really needs to be black.
Hopefully Articulate can expedite this request!!
Wow, this is still an issue? How the default text not be black? Accessibility? Hello?
