Theme Colors

Hi Jackie!

It sounds like you're having an issue where the Dark 1 color is not the default text color for light slides and shapes. I'd be happy to help!

Also, thank you for the Peek! That made troubleshooting much easier!

I followed the steps in your screen recording and while testing this out on my end I was unable to reproduce the behavior. When I inserted a lightly colored shape and added text, the default text color was dark and contrasted against the lighter background perfectly.

I also recorded this Peek to show you my process.

Could you share which version of Storyline 360 you are currently using? Just yesterday we released version 3.74.30180.0. With this release, we saw a fix for the bug that was causing shapes to not always inherit the new theme color choice.

If you haven't yet done so, we'd recommend updating your Storyline 360 desktop app and testing this out again!

Please let me know if you have any more questions!
